    There are plenty, but they're not FSCS protected savings accounts, so your capital would be at risk. 
  • Getting 2.5% but that is from a fixed account open last year. Told at the time I was being foolish at locking in for 5 years would be a mistake. But looking at today who knows!

    Depending on how much you want to save, Regular Savers might be of interest.

    Guys,
    Nowadays, especially after this COVID thing, all interests seem to go downhill.
    I am with NS&I but will go down to 0.1% from November 2020.
    Is anybody else in the same case and what have you done instead?

    I don't like the idea locking money away, like rather having access / widthdraw whenever I need to.
    I got £55K of savings and uncertain / confused where I should go next ...

    Banks like West Bromwich BS pay the interest after compliting 1 year as oppsed to monthly payment.
    Anybody managed to find a good interest payment, paid every month and with easy access (not fixed)??
