Having researched the regular savings account market-place, we are bringing you an account which pays a higher rate of interest than our existing accounts in return for your regular savings. It’s an open-ended account (unlike many in the market-place) which means you can save for large purchases without being bound by a 12-month contract and, with 2 withdrawals per annum, it should suit most saver’s needs.
Your savings are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Payments under the scheme are limited to a maximum payment to any one depositor of £85,000. Click here for our FSCS document
