Your local bank or building society might be handy, especially for older reader, and you might feel a bit of loyalty to them, but that loyalty can be expensive. With the average UK savings balance at about £17,365, and high street names often paying a couple of percent less than the best rates, that convenience could be costing you around £350 a year. The best deals are usually online, so it’s worth looking at comparison sites – just make sure the bank’s genuine and FSCS-protected. And if you’re one of the 1.6 million in the UK sadly without online access, it’s worth roping in a friend or family member to help.
