This account is specifically for people saving towards a shared ownership property purchase, so it is not open to general savers. That said, the 5.50% rate is the market-leading easy access rate right now, sitting 0.50% ahead of the next best and 2.40% above CPI inflation of 3.1% as of Aug 2026, which is a genuinely useful real return. If you do qualify, I would still check the Santander Edge Saver at 6.00%, which appears in our alternatives and may be accessible depending on your circumstances. The key thing to confirm before opening is whether you meet the shared ownership eligibility criteria.
Same type of account, closest on rate.
