What is Shawbrook Bank's best savings account with the highest interest rate?

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.

Finally, if you're looking to maximise your returns and shield them from income tax, consider an ISA. Below, we've listed the different types of accounts Shawbrook Bank offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

What are the pros and cons of banking with Shawbrook Bank?

Pros

  • Online banking. You can access your Shawbrook Bank account anywhere. All you’ll need is your username and password.
  • Flexibility. Shawbrook Bank offers a range of accounts with options for various types of savers.
  • Decent rates. Shawbrook Bank offers pretty competitive rates across the board. They’re not market leading, but certainly up there.

    Does Shawbrook Bank charge any fees for having a fixed term account?

      Hi Marcus,

      Thanks for reaching out. Shawbrook doesn’t charge any fees when you have a fixed term account but you can be charged for exit fees for early termination and you can obtain this information when you visit their website. Hope this helps!

      Best,
      Nikki
