    A Santander 123 account is not the best option. There are accounts paying up to 5% interest and regular savers paying up to 6%.

    Have a look here and read around the forum

    Thanks, will have a read. I don't think I will do anything just yet as I don't want to many searches on my credit report in a short space of time. How long do you think I should leave before applying for something else? Normally I would just have my money in any random account that doesn't pay any decent interest but lately I have started looking at different options.
    I only switched from a cash minder to the 123 account the end of last month lol.

    I did exactly the same as 20- opened a FlexBasic while I had a Lloyds Classic- the Lloyds remained my main account.
