Savings accounts with interest rates hitting 5.80% in ‘top’ deals for customers

Experts are revealing the best savings account interest rates currently on offer this week.

Savings interest rates still remain high with a one-year fixed rate on the market for a competitive 5.80 percent.

Over the past year, savers have benefited from the Bank of England’s decision to raise interest rates.

This has been part of the central bank’s attempt to rein in inflation which has exacerbated the cost of living crisis.

With inflation appearing to ease, the Bank of England has paused its series of hikes to the base rate.

Savings expert Lucinda O’Brien encouraged bank customers to take advantage of high-interest rates while they still have the chance.

She explained: “Interest rates are remaining fairly stable this week, with Metro Bank still offering the top rate for instant access savings at 5.22 percent.

“However, this is a limited edition rate, so you’ll need to follow some rules to unlock the best rate. In this instance, you’ll need to open a new account and deposit at least £500 within 28 days.

“If you fail to do this, the account offers a standard variable rate of 1.65 percent. Elsewhere, the top rates for fixed-rate accounts are mainly staying above five percent, with Metro Bank’s 1-year fixed account offering a competitive 5.8 percent.”
