NS&I has withdrawn its hugely popular 6.2% one-year fixed savings deal for new customers from today (6 October). But the account was always going to be short-lived, according to MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis, who recently issued a clarion call to savers urging them to bag the top rates before they disappear.

You should open a fixed savings account NOW in case rates are cut, MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis has warned. His message comes as the Bank of England voted to maintain the current base rate at 5.25% following 14 consecutive rises.

EDF Energy will cut bills by £30 for some 260,000 of its customers who get the Government's Warm Home Discount this winter. But with a typical home paying £2,000 a year for energy, the one-off £30 discount is 'not a game-changer', says MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) founder Martin Lewis.

You must act NOW to get the top-paying rate on an easy-access savings account, MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis has urged. Santander's best buy account offers 5.2% interest, but it will be axed to new customers after 11.59pm tonight. Martin explains everything you need to know in his latest video. 

The Minister for Children, Families and Wellbeing, Claire Coutinho MP, has rejected Martin Lewis' call to do more to help 80,000 teens with special educational needs or disabilities unlock their Child Trust Fund money. The MoneySavingExpert.com founder wrote to the Minister about the problem but she's written back... and effectively said no.

Energy Secretary Grant Shapps has been questioned by MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis about his lack of action to bring down standing charges and why he's yet to introduce an energy social tariff. On ITV's Good Morning Britain (on 19 July), Martin also grilled the minister on whether more support would be offered to vulnerable people this coming winter.

More joined-up mental health and debt support, especially during the cost of living crisis, has been called for by the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute and its chair and founder Martin Lewis. Providing money advice alongside mental health support could double recovery rates for people struggling with debt and depression and help an extra 27,000 people each year, according to the charity.

"Don't pay to pay abroad," is the key message from MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis in the latest episode of ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, during which he details the best overseas travel cards, his pick of prepaid travel cards and how to get the best rates when exchanging cash.

The price households pay for energy "will drop considerably" in July, the energy regulator has confirmed to MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis on ITV's Good Morning Britain. It comes ahead of next week's Ofgem announcement on the new Price Cap rate from 1 July, which is predicted to fall below the Government's current Energy Price Guarantee.

Households on direct debit energy bills are likely to pay around 18% less for gas and electricity from 1 July, according to final price cap predictions shared today by MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis – see his full explanation below.
