Instant Access Account with a Switch Card

garcum

Hi
Sorry if this has been asked previously.
Im looking for a high interest savings account with instant access. I know all about the internet accounts but im looking for one which will provide me with a switch card for when buying over the counter. What is the highest rate I could get and from whom? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

I dont believe such an account exists.

Look at some of the high interest current accounts out there e.g. Halifax, Lloyds pay around 5%.

Shame you need to pay £1,000 a month in to these accounts to secure the rate though.

Why not get a cashback credit card and pay in shops using this. Then clear the bill once a month out of your savings?

What you want is a high interest current account. Only a current account will issue you with a switch card. The big banks all have their offerings but most come with limits and odd terms and conditions.

If you can pay in £1,000 a month, then this looks like a good bet if you have lots of cash to put in one account. If you have less than £5,000 savings, might be worth checking the high street out too though:
