I got 85p from mine today!
get ready for 2%Its all OK boys, they are putting more pressure on the banks now. They will definitely buckle any time soon. We all know that all you have to do to bring a bank in line is ask a few times. They are legendarily keen on making less money and giving customers the best deals to their own detriment.
Banks warned over 'weak excuses' for savings rates
The financial regulator also says it will look closely at close to zero interest rates for loyal savers.www.bbc.co.uk

What advice/accounts would you give/open for someone that had the following and wanted to maximise savings over the next 2 years:
Can spare 200-500 a month to put into savings depending on month.
Currently has about 5k sat doing nothing in an ancient poor paying savings account.
Currently has about 1k of bitcoin sitting doing nothing.

barclays Rainy day saver @ 5.12% (on up to 5K)
the rest, look at Money saving expert and find the best regular saving account that will take 500 a month

If one puts 5k into said account tomorrow, does the interest start counting daily straight away? Or does it have to be in there X amount of time?

Hi all
I've currently got a Flexible saver with Natwest but always find myself dipping into it, Is there a way you could all recommend to help me stay away, Are there accounts that you don't have access to through the banking app.
In simple terms i want to be able to access it in times of need and not be made to wait a year like the ISA accounts
Thanks for any help
