Many top savings rates edge lower as longer-term bonds hold steady.

 

It’s a familiar story in the savings market as many of the leading rates dropped further this week, including in the easy access and one-year bond sectors.

 

However, more positively, savers who are able to lock away access to their money for longer will find the leading rates on longer-term bonds held firm.

 

Indeed, the top three-year bond now pays a higher rate than the leading one-year bond with 4.63% AER compared to 4.60% AER.

 

Savers who are worried about rates falling further may want to consider putting their money into a fixed bond. But, whether you want access to your savings or not, it’s worth comparing accounts to make sure your savings are working as hard as possible for you.

 

Below are the providers that currently offer the best easy access, fixed and notice savings rates. These products are available to new customers with a £10,000 deposit. Note that higher rates may be available to existing customers or those who are willing to save more than £10,000.

 

You can also visit our charts to compare top rates across the whole of the savings market.
