Quick online application setup from Newcastle Building Society
With UK savings rates at an all time low you need to take action to ensure your savings are getting the best interest deal possible.
Savings accounts’ interest rates continue to fail to provide interest high enough to counter inflation, or even match it. Although there are plenty of savings accounts available to the general public, they do not provide any real financial advantage. This is because the interest rates offered by savings accounts are heavily dependent on the base rate set by the Bank of England. We can help you compare a selection of some of the best interest paying accounts.
For savers looking to access their money regularly, a good instant access savings account will offer flexible withdrawal facilities while combining these with a good rate of interest.
