    Competitors include Raisin and Hargreaves Lansdown, so have a look at those too - it would surprise me if one could reliably be categorised as 'best' on an ongoing basis, so the most MSE approach will continue to be to choose the best account for your requirement(s) when needed, rather than aligning with one particular provider or platform.

    I use HL active savings and have not had any complaints.
    Not sure it always the best rate, but the rates are generally 'up there', the platform is reliable and the speed of transfer in and out has been good.
    Past caring about first world problems.

    Used Raisin for 4 years now, all ok.
    Has it ever been clarified who is reporting the interest to HMRC - Raisin or the actual savings provider?

    ( Same applies to HL, Flagstone etc)

    Possibly a question for someone who doesn't self-assess. Would be interesting to finally get to the bottom of this.

    I’ve never checked to tell you the truth.
    Later this year I plan to ask HMRC for my BBSI statement.
    It should shed light on it, as I have a raisin saving account, via ISIS bank that paid interest in February.

    I'm currently using Raisin plus over ten other savings accounts 
    I find that getting the interest statements from each bank is a laborious task particularly interest for closed accounts 
    Some banks are better than others but generally it takes me until late June before I have all the confirmation info to submit with my tax return

    Is there any way to simplify this task

    Yes, keep your own records of interest paid into your accounts!

    I do But I still need a written confirmation of interest received for each account from the bank to submit with my tax return

    Where have you got that idea from?

    You seem to invented your own rule there, it's not something I have ever heard anyone else do!
