Savings Accounts

Savings accounts are specialised accounts provided by a bank, building society or the Post Office® designed for medium to long-term investment. Withdrawing or depositing funds is usually free but savings may not be immediately accessible, particularly from those savings accounts which offer the highest interest rates.
