HomeNewsSavings How to get the best savings rates in a restricted and low-rate environment Published: 26/01/2021 Share
Savers looking for an easy access account or a regular saver account will find it more difficult than last year to get a top rate deal as banks and building societies increasingly restrict their accounts. These restrictions include limiting accounts to existing customers, specific geographic regions or only allowing applications in branch – an option that is limited due to the current Coronavirus restrictions. Other exclusions include Virgin Money that restricts its regular savings accounts to those that use their Home Buying Coach app and Principality Building Society’s regular savings account, the Learner Earner Issue 3 that is only available when both a parent and a child open a relevant account.
