Saving Account with virtual 'jars'

I have an Intelligent Finance' account which has virtual jars allowing me to divide up my savings, but it gets a low interest rate.
I would be interested in having a similar savings account with a better interest rate, but this is not a feature I see listed in any of the summary tables I have looked at.
Can anyone recommend any accounts which let you subdivide your money up into separate 'jars' while receiving interest on the whole amount,
Thanks

    Use a personal finance software package such as YNAB or a spreadsheet, and you can have as many virtual pots as you like.

    Combine this with a great current account such as TSB Plus which pays you 4 or 5 times as much interest as any savings account will.

    You can be 100% certain that they are not competitive as no savings account is these days.
