Oh, if you find out Sandy please let us all know.  Interest rates are dire at the moment.

Try this:

On the left hand side, click "Easy Access" (if that is indeed what you want).

Beware, some require you to have a current account with the same bank. But there are plenty that don't with interest rates of more than 4%

What programme were you listening to?

paragon are doing a 1 year fixed rate isa at 4.3%

I'm not sure.  It might have been Moneybox.

if it helps, I am currently on 3.96% AER on premium bonds.

At the moment, I'm sat with a small heater, wrapped in a fleece, unable to afford to put the gas on. Happy days! Not.

Santander have an online saver account. You have to pay in £200 per month from your current acccount and leave it for a year. For this you are getting 5%.

Santander also has a savings account 4% but a £4k limit

We all have this ISA too

4% is dire. In fact it's worse than dire.

It might be dire but it's twice as good as the 2% and less that many banks and building societies offer

and it's more than the publicised current rate of inflation...

Precisely why I've not added to savings in such institutions for years. Probably decades.

One can not trust any publicised current rate of inflation that claims inflation has dropped due to daily purchased items such as jet journeys.

Where do you suggest the best place is to put our money then OG?

No expert but maybe, into your own business, or someone who has a good business idea, or stocks & shares. I'm told gold is usually safe.

 

Or you can give up and either hoard until  those wanting your money get fed up and are prepared to give a decent return for a change. Or spend, spend, spend, as you only live once.

Spending on oneself is my preferred option, keep a bit aside and use the rest to enjoy life. No pockets in a shroud.
