Not even close to the highest interest rate on the market, what's the point.

NS&I accounts may suit individuals who aren't UK residents (a requirement for the vast majority of UK banking and savings products) or who don't wish to be constrained by FSCS protection limits....Cisco001 said:Not even close to the highest interest rate on the market, what's the point.4 -
So what’s appealing to me is: zero capital risk on up to £1m, monthly guaranteed income. I hate speculation and being at risk of what Trump had for breakfast. Yes, there are higher rates available, but fiddling about under the current £85k guarantee is a fuddle i don’t need.Where I’m aiming at is getting a feel for how rates might move, to help me decide which fixed term I want to choose.0
