With inflation rising to 1.5% in April, savers will be disappointed to see that, despite some higher rates entering the charts, just one seven year fixed rate bond that pays interest on maturity can currently beat the rate of inflation. As well as this, although saving rates have picked up over the last couple of weeks, there is uncertainty about whether rates will continue to rise, especially with the Bank of England base rate currently holding at 0.1%. As such, savers looking to get the best rates should consider acting quickly as providers can withdraw or reduce rates at any time.
