A good instant access savings account will offer flexible withdrawal facilities with good rates of interest, and is suited to savers looking to access their money regularly.
Easy Access Savings Account-
-An easy access savings account is essentially what it says; a savings account that gives you easy access to your money.
-With such an account you can access your savings without giving prior notice, and without forfeiting any interest.
-There may be restrictions on the number of penalty free withdrawals you can make in any specific time period and, although you have easy access to your savings, unlike an instant access savings account there might be a few days’ delay before you have the cash in your hand.
Fixed Rate Bonds:
Fixed rate bond terms vary from 3 months to 5 years, most being for 1 ,2, 3 and 5 year terms. Generally speaking the longer your money is locked away the higher the rate of interest you will receive on your money.
- There is usually a minimum commitment for depositing money into a fixed rate bond. This makes fixed bonds unsuitable for those who wish to top up a savings account in small amounts or through regular saving. Minimum bond deposits can vary from £500 to over £10,000. Make sure you are happy to lock away cash for set period of time.
- With a fixed term these types of savings bonds have a maturity date at which time you will be contacted by your savings provider and provided with options on how you wish your money to be returned to you.
- With a fixed rate bond you are usually restricted on access to your money during the specified term. Some fixed rate bond terms will not allow you access at all - while others may provide access on certain terms e.g. one withdrawal a year.
- Interest paid on your savings is treated as income and you may have to pay tax on it depending on your personal circumstances.
