I have transferred £700 to savings for October. I may move more over later on in the month but we are on holiday next month so may just keep spare money in our current account especially as Starling has just upped the interest rate on current accounts from 0.05% to 3.95%.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
