Savings Overview

Saving for a rainy day, for a special purchase or the trip of a lifetime can be done in many ways. Here are some of the places that you can save your money.

Banks

Convenient and familiar. A deposit account will give you some interest and reasonable access to your money.

Building Societies

Considered better by some people because they can be less convenient so the temptation to draw on your funds is less. If you are easily tempted pick one that has no cashpoints or plastic cards!

National Savings

Tax free savings with National Savings make them a very attractive proposition

Premium Bonds

Fancy a flutter with no risk? You are entered into a Prize Draw and could win big but the downside is that there is no interest on your money. Save £100 and you will get £100 back. Inflation, in the meantime, may have considerably reduced the buying power of that money. But you could win the draw !
