πŸ”” Announcing the 2021 Savings Champion Awards finalists

13th November 2020

We’re excited to announce the finalists for the Savings Champion Awards.

Now in its eighth year, our awards acknowledge excellence in a wide range of savings categories, recognising those banks and building societies that have consistently offered competitive rates for savers and promoted competition in the savings market over the last 12 months.

These are the only awards that focus solely on savings – giving this key area of the market the recognition and focus that it deserves.

We celebrate those providers that are keeping competition alive and consistently offer best buy rates in these challenging times.

Savings Champion is one of the few places savers can go for truly independent, whole-of-market savings advice. So, our wealth of knowledge, experience and unrivalled research and data – combined with our impartiality – is what makes our awards different and our opinion trusted.

For providers, winning an award is a powerful accolade, while for savers our award logos are a clear way to identify the best accounts and providers in the savings market.

Our judging process is independent, comprehensive and detailed and involves weekly reviews of the savings market for each category throughout the year.

Not only do we look at those providers who offer competitive products to new savers but also those providers that are supporting their existing customers as well. Additionally, we take into account feedback from our customers and our Cash Advice team who are all using these products.

So, congratulations to all our finalists and make sure you keep an eye out for the announcement of the winners in each category in early December.
