How to get the best interest on a regular savings account?
Now make payments into the regular saver straight from your easy-access account each month.

This technique is called ‘drip-feeding’, as you’re slowly moving your cash across, month by month.
How much protection do you get if savings account goes bust?
Every bank we mention in this guide is fully UK-regulated, which means you get £85,000 per person protection in the event it goes bust (£170,000 for joint accounts). The only thing to watch is some providers, such as HSBC and First Direct, share licences so you only have £85,000 protection across both banks. See the Are Your Savings Safe? guide.
