Our Expert Opinion on Hodge Bank Easy Access

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Hodge Bank's Easy Access pays 4.01%, which sits near the market average but is 0.99% behind the easy access leader at 5.00%, so it is not a standout rate. On the positive side, it does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 0.91%, meaning your money keeps pace with inflation in real terms. The account opens from just £1 and allows unlimited withdrawals, which suits anyone wanting flexibility without a minimum balance hurdle. I would still check whether you can do better elsewhere before committing.
