Compare latest Masthaven Bank savings accounts with the UK saver market. We compare instant access, easy access, notice and fixed rate cash saving plans to help you get the best deal.

Current Accounts

If your main goal is to get the best interest rate possible, you should look at keeping at least some of your savings in a current account. These usually offer some of the best returns, but only on smaller amounts. 

If your savings exceed the interest ceiling on your current account, you will likely need to spread your money across a few different types of accounts to get the best overall return.

Instant Access Savings Accounts

Savers who valuable flexibility will probably do best with an instant access account. This lets you add and remove money at your convenience, although you may only be allowed so many withdrawals per year.

Some instant access accounts offer a cash card for use at ATMs while most will allow you to make transfers online and by phone.

Fixed Rate Bonds

If you have a sizeable sum that you do not need to use in the immediate future, a fixed rate bond can offer the best return. They work by giving you a fixed, usually very favourable, rate of interest for a set period, during which you cannot access your money.

Fixed rate bonds generally last for around 1-5 years and the longer the term of the bond, the higher the interest rate you are likely to get.

Cash ISAs

ISAs are designed to allow UK taxpayers to earn interest on their savings without paying tax on that interest. There is a yearly limit on how much you can place in an ISA, which for 2020/21 is £20,000.

ISAs are normally one of two sorts – instant access and fixed term. Instant access cash ISAs give variable interest rates and you can get at your money whenever you need to. Fixed term cash ISAs offer guaranteed interest rates for a set period during which you cannot add or withdraw money from your account.

Although you won’t pay tax on the money you earn on an ISA, the interest rates they offer tend to be lower than for some other kinds of savings accounts. This means you need to carefully calculate what you will save in tax and compare this to the interest you are likely to lose out on by not going for an account with a higher rate.
