Historically, interest rates with current accounts have been some of the lowest on the market. However, high street banks have started to increase their current accounts’ interest rates.
The recent trend of high interest current accounts has meant that more people are using their current account for their savings.
The Co-operative Banking Group has a current account that has competitive interest and various rewards for swapping accounts.
Instant access accounts are popular amongst some savers, as they typically provide unlimited access along with the ability to earn interest.
The Co-operative Banking Group’s instant access account allows you to make a withdrawal at your convenience, as well as enable you to earn a modest amount of interest on your savings.
Typically, where a bank offers both instant and easy access accounts there is very little difference between the two. When this occurs, it is possible that the easy access account is more likely to have a delay in relation to deposits, withdrawals or transfer transactions.
The Select Access Saver from The Co-operative Bank offers a tiered rate of interest. The fewer times you withdraw from the Select Access Saver over the course of the year, the higher the interest you will receive.
If you are confident that you will not need your savings for a prolonged period of time, you could earn competitive interest with fixed rate bonds. Often fixed rate bonds provide some of the best interest rates on the market, providing you do not withdraw from your savings.
The Co-operative Bank’s fixed rate bonds have their best rates of interest, which run between 1 and 3 years. It should be noted that often the longer bonds pay the higher rates of interest.
