Best savings accounts of the week as interest rates hit 6.05 percent

Savers are being urged to take advantage of market-leading savings interest rates as high as six percent while they still have a chance.

Experts from Money.co.uk are breaking down the best savings accounts currently on offer for the week beginning October 23.

Over the past year, interest rate increases have been applied to savings products by banks and building societies.

This is due to the Bank of England raising the base rate to combat inflation, but with the CPI easing, many are concerned the era of high-interest rates is coming to an end.

As such, Money.co.uk is highlighting the top savings accounts, fixed-rate bonds and ISAs which are on the market.

Lucinda O’Brien, Money.co.uk’s savings expert, broke down why people should be proactive in taking these deals while interest rates still remain high.

She explained: “Similar to last week, easy access interest rates remain competitive, whereas fixed-rate interest is slowly dropping.

“If you are considering locking your money away for a set period of time, Union Bank of India One-Year Fixed Rate has an interest rate of 6.11 percent – and we’re not sure how long these top rates will hang around.

“If you would like more flexible savings, then Paragon is offering an easy access account at 5.25 percent, which matches the base rate. Chorley Building Society currently has the top rate for easy access at 5.30 percent, but both these accounts do come with withdrawal restrictions.”
