Why do Ford run savings accounts, is the idea you save then buy a new Ford or something?
Their easy access account is now 4.95%.

Best savings account?

Ford make money by turning money into metal and then selling it for more money. Ford savings allows them to take money and make more metal:
"Deposits taken by Ford Money are used solely to support the funding of FCE’s operations and receivables base."

Ah I see, makes sense.

4.95% seems to be about the best rate for easy access at the moment.

Tandem are back offering 5%, couple others doing slightly more with restrictions

Downside being that it only allows up to £200/month to be put in and existing customers, but nationwide now offer 8% on their flex regular saver.

FirstDirect customers can get 7% on the regular savings account: https://www.firstdirect.com/savings-and-investments/savings/regular-saver-account/
Its capped to maximum of £300 per month going in though.

I just use it for spending now. Rest of funds are elsewhere.

Shawbrook now at 5.02% but using them is like taking a nostalgia trip to the early days of Internet banking. Fast payment? Wots dat?

First £200 can essentially be paid by Nationwide themselves with their current switching bonus

I have an ISA with up to six withdrawals none of which I have used. When I took it out last March it was paying 2.75% now at 4. 5% not high end but more than adequate to me.

Anyone still waiting for their Santander Easy Access Saver (Issue 24) letters through the post? Been 12 days and I've not received anything yet.
Given they sent me incorrect details via email about the intertest rate I'm having second thoughts about keeping the account.

I've received nothing but it's my second account with them so wasn't really expecting a letter if I'm honest,
What interest rate does it state in the app?

Wots worse are some small scale building societies, was looking at one not long ago with a good rate but you had to download an application form and post it to a branch along with original copies of ID.
I thought nah not worth the faff.

No idea, haven't been sent the password to log in with yet.
Shows as 5.08% on both of mine.
Stuck a few thousand in each last week, I’m just hoping one of them doesn’t disappear!
