Tip of the week
Less than 1% of standard savings accounts currently available now beat inflation, which climbed to 2.7% this week.
What should you do if you have one of the 99% of accounts tat are shrinking your savings in real terms because of the ravages of inflation?
Switch accounts and consider moving to financial institutions you’ve never heard of, advises Rachel Springall, Finance Expert at Moneyfacts.co.uk.
She said: “If savers have their cash languishing in an account paying a poor return, they should be proactive and switch.
“Some of the best deals around are from more unfamiliar brands or are only available online.
“Therefore, savers should prepare to change their savings habit, especially if they favour high street branches.”
