Online accounts

wordy54

the interest on savings has dropped a lot. Martin always says move savings into the best rate which is usually online. I a little nervous about opening accounts online how do I make sure they are legitimate sites? If I go through links on Martin Lewis website are they safe? I can’t afford to lose my savings.

Always make sure it is a padlock site. Google the place and you can find out if its legitimate or not.

I could not find any savings account worth switching to.
