Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Some rate hikes on existing Chorley accounts

Today, the Bank of England has increased its base rate by 50 basis points, to a new rate of 3.5%.


Hopefully we'll see some savings providers increase their rates before Christmas, but it'll likely be January for most.

Well done The Coventry!

Wow. I certainly didn't expect them to go up that high, especially the FHS upping the interest rate by nearly 70%. Combined with the limited access saver going up to 3.25%, Coventry have suddenly become a lot more competitive of late.

And well done to them for announcing immediately what their new rates will be, and from when.

That is a huge increase, with a hefty £1,000 monthly deposit limit, and no current account requirements.

Long overdue question but what is to stop a homeowner using a 'First Home Saver' or equivalent as a Regular saver? Some first hand knowledge of acceptance or refusal would be welcome. Thanks in advance...

They are of course making up for it elsewhere. The account I have is rising by 0.1%, and many accounts are rising by 0.35% or less. Clearly a change of focus.
