Euro currency inestment

Hi,
I wonder if anyone got some advice. I have some Euros (2000) saved on my Barclays currency account that pays no interest.Changing that to Pounds would be a big loss, as the exchange rate is really bad. What can I do with it to get some sort of interest ? I am obviuouly based in the UK.  Any advice will be gratly apprciated. Thanks

  • A big loss compared to what? Compared to what you paid for them? It's not really relevant, is it?
  • Unfortunately you won't find a EUR account paying interest with FSCS protection. 
    Wise pay interest (2.61%) with the cash held in Moneymarket funds. 
    Trading 212 pay interest (3.4%) with the cash held in a mix of ring-fenced bank accounts and MM funds.
    There is also Revolut but they are not held in very high regard hereabouts.
