Choosing the right savings account can depend on a number of factors including your personal circumstances, how much you have to save, how long you are willing to lock your savings away for and what interest you want to receive.
Marsden Building Society have a selection of savings accounts that could help you.
Easy access savings accounts are perfect for those who want the ability to withdraw from their savings often. It is possible to find an easy access account that can earn you interest and give you unlimited access to your savings.
Marsden Building Society’s Branch Saver gives you the freedom to make a withdrawal at any time and pays a modest amount of interest as well.
Notice savings accounts could be an appealing option for those who do not require their savings instantaneously and want to access higher interest.
The Branch Saver 120 from Marsden Building Society allows you to earn higher interest on your savings in exchange for the requirement to give 120 days’ notice to make a withdrawal.
Some banks offer higher interest rates to those who commit to deposit a certain amount into their savings each month.
Marsden Building Society’s Branch Regular Saver provides competitive interest but requires regular contributions at an agreed frequency. It should be noted that the minimum requirement for the Branch Regular Saver is modest and may be worth considering.
Fixed rate bonds typically have higher interest than the majority of other savings options, as they require you to leave your savings in the bond until the end of the agreed term.
Marsden Building Society offer two separate fixed rate bonds, one for 2 years and another for 3 years.
Cash ISAs can offer you the chance to earn up to £20,000 tax-free interest. This may be useful if you are set to earn a significant amount in interest over the course of the year.
Marsden Building Society has a variety of ISAs that have different interest rates, access and minimum balance.
