Cynergy Bank savings accounts review
Cynergy Bank offers a broad range of savings accounts with interest rates up to 4.6%.

Founded in 1955, Cynergy Bank offers a range of financial products for both individuals and businesses, including a number of personal savings accounts.
Cynergy Bank's top savings rate of 4.6% is available on one of its business savings accounts.
The best savings account depends on what you want from your savings. If you're after fast access to your money, then an easy-access account should suit you. However, if you're happy to lock your money away for a time to access a higher rate, then a fixed-rate bond is a good option.

Yes, Cynergy Bank savings accounts are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This means that all eligible deposits are protected up to a total of £85,000 (£170,000 for joint accounts), so you’ll get your money back if the bank ceases trading.
