Any good 'easy access' accounts that pay a decent level of monthly interest?

People get hung up on monthly interest. There really is no need.

There may, of course, be tax-planning considerations.

Santander does offer monthly interest on its eSaver, I have one and it is quite reasonable, I think 3.2% AER before tax. Unlike others on here I haven't had problems with Santander (yet!)

That's interesting. I was going by the MSE Best Savings page which only indicates interest is paid annually.

Currently paying 3.00% AER so better than Saffron and can pay interest into the account or out of it monthly. Seems to tick all the OP's boxes..

It is probably true to say that you don't get problems with Santander until there's a problem.

I assume this is sarcasm? (as there are several new threads already, and old threads dug up).

The perfect thing is that it applies to BOTH new and existing customers! Happy days
