Our Expert Opinion on FirstSave 30 Day Notice Account

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

FirstSave's 30 Day Notice Account pays 3.25%, which is 1.15% behind the notice market leader at 4.40%, and the position is below the market average, so I would not reach for this unless you have a specific reason to use FirstSave. It just edges above August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 0.15%, which is a thin real return. The notice requirement is the main practical catch, as every withdrawal needs 30 days' notice and goes to your nominated account. Shawbrook's 45 Day Notice Account at 3.77% is worth a look if you can tolerate slightly longer notice.
