Instant Access Accounts Explained

These accounts allow instant access or allow funds to be transferred without penalty.

Rates are variable so you should keep an eye on the current rate to ensure you have the best deal. As there is no loss of interest for withdrawing funds, savings can easily be moved to a more competitive account should the rate fall.

If you do not need immediate access to your money, higher rates may be found on notice accounts.
