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?
Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts. Although I do carry out careful research before posting and never intend to mislead or supply out-of-date or incorrect information, please do not rely 100% on what you are reading. Verify everything in order to protect yourself as you are responsible for any action you consequently take.
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.
