Help deciding what savings account to open

Hi

I have £8.000 in a Passbook account with Yorkshire Bank, and was wanting to transfer it.

I just opened a Natwest step account for day to day money, and they seem to be ok, so my only choice with them is either a first reserve, or reward reserve account.

I only stick money in my yorkshire bank account once about every 3 years because its 20 mins walk away (yes im lazy) :o

I have a post office near me, so was thinking of opening a post office instant saver?.

Also is sticking it in just a natwest step account good?. Then i can have a debit card to withdraw money from there if i need it.

I have a yorkshire bank cash isa already.

I still can't decide what account to put it in. I want to move it from yorkshire bank as honestly, i go there once every three year and have never spent the money in that account so want to bring it `closer` within my reach.

Thanks for any help :)

    As a Serious MoneySaving Fan, you must know where to find information on the best savings accounts on offer. e.g. here.

    I don't really understand what it is you need help with.
