That's right ladies and gentlemen, the HSBC Flexible Saver has a new rate, effective today. It's gone up to 0.05%, from 0.01%, so you'll get five times more interest than you used to get :j

Be careful though: if you have £2 million or more in the account, this will push your interest over the annual PSA threshold.

    If you have £5 in the account you will continue to get nothing each year.

    Oh well, too late now, I've already instructed Coutts to liquidate my portfolio.

    Easy to get caught up in the euphoria, my advice is to go on a cruise and consider one’s options.

    Once round the harbour should do it.
