Market Leading interest rate

5% interest on £300 a month. Easy to set up and you can start a new monthly saver as soon as the old one matures Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Savings account

I have just opened a regular saver account and it was very easy to open. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

The best regular saver product out there

Used to be 6%, now 5%, but I cannot find anything to beat it. Also the £300 a month limit is higher than anyone else. Not good for stashing great wodges of money, but definitely good for saving up lumps of money for holidays, buy a car and other big things like that. Best of all, their customer service is the best I have seen from anyone, I actually like talking to them! Reviewed on: 6th September 2017
