Our Expert Opinion on Emma Easy Access Pot

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

The Emma Easy Access Pot pays 1.91%, which is below the market average for easy access accounts and 3.09% behind the current market leader at 5.00%. It also sits 1.19% below CPI inflation of 3.1%, meaning your money is losing purchasing power in real terms. Access is next working day rather than instant, which is worth noting for a rate that does not compensate for the wait. If you want to stay within Emma, their Easy Access Pot - Plus pays 2.31%, or Monzo's Select Access Savings reaches 3.15%.
