Compare Teachers Building Society savings accounts
The right savings account can help you reach your savings goals quickly. Flexibility, interest rate, minimum deposit and maximum balance are just a few factors to consider when looking for a new savings account.
Easy access accounts are a common option for those who require flexibility with their savings, as they often permit unlimited withdrawals and provide interest on savings.
Teachers Building Society’s Easy Saver provides a modest rate of interest and allows you to withdraw from your savings at your convenience.
Interest rates with notice savings accounts are typically higher than those found in some other savings accounts, but often require a number of days’ notice to make a withdrawal.
The Notice 35 account from Teachers Building Society requires 35 days’ notice, but has a higher interest rate than their easy access account.
If you are prepared to tie up your savings for a prolonged period of time, then you could look into your fix rate bond options. Fixed rate bonds generally have the most competitive interest rates on the market, guaranteed for the life of the bond, providing you do not touch your savings.
Teachers Building Society advertise a 1 year fixed rate bond that comes with their best interest rate.
The interest you earn on your savings is not the only factor to consider when looking at a savings option, as the amount of tax you may have to pay on the interest of your savings could be a factor as well.
If you are likely to earn a significant amount of money through the interest on your savings, you might want to open a cash ISA. By opening a cash ISA you can earn up to £20,000 tax-free interest on your savings.
Teachers Building Society offer two ISA options: Cash ISA and Cash ISA Notice 90. As a general rule ISAs do not provide the highest interest, but the option to earn tax-free interest cannot be ignored.
