Online Savings Accounts

Looking for a high interest savings account with little or no fees? Then an online savings account could be just what you are looking for.
Online savings accounts offer higher rates of interest 'at call' in return for more restricted account access. Usually no over-the-counter or cheque facilities are available, with account holders encouraged to make internet or telephone transfers. Most online savings accounts will need to be linked to an everyday transaction account, either the same bank or you can link to any existing account you may have with another provider - it's imprtant to keep an eye out when applying.

Online Savings accounts are also a variable rate which means they can fluctuate up or down, banks will often offer high interest bonus rates on new accounts to entice new customers. Often these inflated rates will only last for a short period of time and will eventually drop back down, when comparing online savings accounts always check the standard rate this is likely to be the the interest rate you'll receive once the bonus offer comes to an end. Another type of bonus rate is sometimes offered if customers set up a regular savings plan, depositing a minimum weekly or monthly amount. If you are able to save money regularly then taking advantage of these bonus interest rates will help you save faster.
