Savings Champion Rate Alert

Wednesday 18th May 2016
West Bromwich Building Society has launched a new easy access account paying 1.30% gross/AER.

For more information on the account and to see how it compares, please refer to our Easy Access Best Buy Table.
Since the start of last week, we have seen five new variable rate accounts enter our best buy tables.

Whilst this is positive news, High Interest Current Accounts continue to offer some of the best returns on the market at the moment, whilst still keeping funds easily accessible, so could be a good alternative to consider.

You do not have to switch your current account to take advantage of any of the rates on offer below. Please click on the links for more information on the accounts.
