    a) It's not a Current Account board.
    b) Most of the best rates are offered by current accounts.

    I agree with realaledrinker here. There is a board for savings and this post is about savings rates. It is a poor example for an MSE staff member to set by not using the correct board.

    I also believe that there should be some mention of the savings amount. It easy to get relatively good rates for a few thousand pounds in current accounts but almost impossible for several thousands.

    In answer to the question though my lowest rate is 1.25% with Ulster Bank.

    Possibly. You'd think MSE Matt (low number of posts but been around 4 years) would be able to do better.
    Maybe everyone else at MSE Towers is on their hols?

    And, in answer to Matt;
    No I'm not on a 'hideous' interest rate. I put my money in accounts with the best available rates (easily found by reading MSE advice or reading the forum) as do, I expect, most of those who read this board.
