    Whats the best saving account currently then to put 60k in then?
    My atom gone down to like 4%
    You can find a list of the current best-paying easy access accounts here.

    If you don't already have a Chase account, then new customers can currently get a 2.25% boost on a Chase Saver for a year, which works out at 4.75%. The rate tracks the BoE base rate, so will go up and down accordingly. Instant deposits and withdrawals. You need to open a Chase current account first, but you don't have to use it.

    If anyone has any hidden links for accessing Skipton FA accounts (standard or ISA) I'd appreciate them sending. I used one that was in here last year.

    Not that it’s a worthwhile account but for the record Shawbrook Bank EA down to 3.3%.
    Although as an aside, don’t do what I did and absentmindedly leave £400 in there. 
    1 The interest rate drops to 0.05% 
    2. Minimum online withdrawal is £500

    It's funny, they used to be near the top, but now seem to be keen not to attract new business.

    You can get 4.26% easy access with them through Raisin it seems. Min £1,000. Perhaps that's their current favoured way of getting new deposits
