MSE Poll: When did you last move your savings?

Poll started 8 June 2021

With top-pick rates now rising, it's important to check your savings are earning as much interest as they can – and if not, move them. Yet we know switching savings isn't everyone's top priority. So when was the last time you moved your cash into a higher-paying account?

    What savings? If only.

  • Depends on what type of savings you have. We were fortunate to take out Index Linked Saving Certificates which pay - compared to other savings rates - a very good rate - tax free and for the time being at RPI. Only wish we'd got more of them.

    How can you move to a higher-paying account? Any fixed rate bond ending nowadays can only be moved to an account where the rate is lower...
