What is TSB'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 TSB offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

How to open a TSB savings account

The process of opening a TSB savings account depends on the type of account. Fixed rate bonds, ISAs and instant access accounts can be opened online or in a branch. A Monthly Saver is available to existing TSB current account customers and can be opened online or in-branch if you book an appointment.

Depending on the account, you have the option to manage it online, in a branch, over the phone or in the TSB app.

How do I decide which account is for me?

Firstly, you need to decide what you’re looking for in a savings account. Are you looking for tax-free savings? Do you want to save a regular amount each month or just as and when you can? Or do you have a lump sum you’re happy to lock away for a year or more?

You need to work out what you need before comparing the different offers available for certain types of savings accounts. Once you’ve done that, it’s useful to look at:

• Interest rates
• Fees (If there are any.)
• Access to cash (If you need quick access, for instance.)

Is my money safe with TSB?

Should anything go wrong, all eligible deposits with TSB up to a total of £85,000 per person are guaranteed by the British government.
