A savings account is basically just a place to put cash in to earn interest and save for the future. Some accounts are variable rates with easy access while others are fixed where access to your money is restricted. We also look at the halfway-house of notice account. But don't just go for the headline-screaming highest rate without first examining how it works, if there are any catches and what the alternatives are. We guide you through the top savings accounts, children’s savings accounts, app-based savings accounts and regular savings accounts. If you need information on how to start saving money our guide explains the ins and outs of where to start and how to maximise the interest you earn.
