Our Expert Opinion on Emma Easy Access Pot - Plus

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Emma's Easy Access Pot Plus pays 2.31%, which sits below the easy access market average and 2.69% behind the category leader at 5.00%, so this is not a rate to get excited about. It also falls 0.79% short of the current CPI rate of 3.1%, meaning your money is losing purchasing power in real terms. Access is next working day rather than instant, which is a meaningful catch given that better-paying accounts often move money faster. If you are already an Emma user, Monzo's Select Access Savings at 3.15% is worth a look instead.
