Which? Savings Booster

Regularly check the rate you are receiving to ensure your account is still competitive

The Post Office moves to the top position of the Which? Best Rate savings table 

Today the Post Office launched a new issue of its Online Saver account which tops the Which? instant access Best Rate savings table. The new deal pays 3.17% AER from initial balances of just £1 and can be operated online only.

Watch out for the bonus

Jo Langenhan, savings expert at Which?, said of the new deal: 'The latest rate on the instant access account from the Post Office is a great boost for savers especially as the base rate is likely to stay at 0.5% for a while. The account includes a bonus of 1.52% payable for 12-months, so don't forget to switch once the bonus period has ended.'
