    The trick is to have a savings account adjacent to your current account .... so you can make an instant online transfer. Interest wise it's probably best to pay for a CHAPS transfer direct to your current account. That arrives as cleared funds - and you move it immediately to the savings account?
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
