Chase is offering the best savings account for everyday savings at 4.5%. This includes a bonus for a year, but there are no restrictions on amounts you have to save of withdrawalws you are allowed to make. Opening an account is the easiest of processes as they are an online only bank. Zopa, First Direct and Co-op are all overing around 7% for their regular savings account but contributions are capped at £300 and no initial deposit greater than that is allowed. Great if you are saving for something in the near future, like a car or a house deposit.

eToro is offering 4.78% AER (variable) for transfers in or new deposits to their Cash ISA. That's includes a boost that lasts for 12 months and it covers both transfers in and new deposits, but you will need at least £500 for new deposits and £15,000 minimum if you're transferring in from elsewhere.

Trading 212 is also offering 4.68% AER (variable), with no minimum deposit and you can withdraw from it as often as you like, although the rate is only applicable to new contributions, not transfers.

If you want the security of a fixed rate and a high street name, Tesco Bank is offering 4.25% (AER) fixed for 12 months on a Cash ISA right now. On ordinary savings accounts, Chase is offering 4.5% for new customers who also open a current account. But, to be honest, as Cash ISA rates are so competitive right now, you may as well bag the tax benefits of an ISA if you're looking to deposit up to £20,000 this year.
