I'd like an instant access account that I can manage online. Currently have my money in Marcus, Paragon and Principal BS but I need a 4th option.

I'm looking for a bank/BS which provides an efficient and reliable service, and a decent interest rate.

TIA

    If you've comfortable with app-only access and want an efficient, simple easy access savings account for stashing some savings, then I would recommend the Atom Instant Saver - withdrawals and deposits to a linked bank account are pretty-much instant and interest is paid monthly.

    Saying that, the latest Aldermore Easy Access and Double Access accounts pay a higher rate so would also be worth looking at. I haven't got any accounts with Aldermore yet so can't comment on their efficiency.

    If you have a Barclays current account you can get their rainy day saver at 5%. This can be managed online.
