Does anyone know of any banks that provide reasonable interest ( unlikely I know)or the best interest. I'm trying to save and I need a decent savings account.

    There are different types of savings account.  For example, do you want an instant access or a longer term fix?  Do you have a lump sum or just putting away a small amount each month?

    There is also the Help-To-Save scheme if you're on eligible benefits.

    For bank options, see this page - Savings accounts: 3.4% easy access or up to 4.51% fixed (moneysavingexpert.com)

    I went through the money saving website for a decent savers account. I was looking for a deposit and forget type saver account and it came up with another Broker site called Raisin, which holds your details but has access to hundreds of different accounts. I selected one that is supposed to give me 4.5% for 12 months.

    Halifax also has a regular saver (4.5%, upto £250 per month) but you need an account with them.

    I also use the Moneybox app and have an instant saver there (with Clydesdale Bank) at 3.7% per annum. But it's a weekly collection so you have to plan accordingly, I haven't found a way of changing yet. If anyone does know please let me know.
