Don't put up with poor savings rates. As living costs soar, it's more
important than ever to make sure your hard-earned cash is working for
you while it lies in the bank. But although you want a decent rate of
interest, you want to be able to access your money when you want --
without being penalised.
Shockingly, the average interest rate on new easy-access accounts
remains a pitiful 1% -- but new customers to ING can now enjoy a savings
rate of 3% APR.
If you don't want your savings gobbled up by inflation, don't let your cash drain away in a low interest account -- switch today.
Jasmine says: "For a flexible, no notice account with no penalties for withdrawals, this ING accounthas a good savings rate, and you put as little as £1 into it."
It's quick and easy to set up, their customer service is top-notch
and you can finally get a decent rate of interest on your savings
without locking your money away.
