Hello all

Ok, so what's the best instant access savings account?

That means no faffing about with monthly fees, etc.

Or is it a case we have to bail out the irresponsible lot, and get very little interest on our savings.

Thanks

    Check the links at the top of the board.

    Savings rates are poor across the board. You can get more in current accounts but you seem to have already discarded that option.

    Not sure what you mean by "bail out the irresponsible lot" - can you post a bit more detail on that please?

    Afraid faffing about is probably needed if you want the best rate but a few minutes time is worth it to some people to get a better return.

    How much money do you have to put into the account?
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
