Our Expert Opinion on Leek Building Society Easy Access Saver

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Leek Building Society's Easy Access Saver pays 1.65%, which is below the market average for easy access accounts and 3.35% behind the current category leader at 5.00%. At that rate you are also losing ground to inflation in real terms, sitting 1.45% below CPI of 3.1% as of Aug 2026. The account opens from just £1, which suits someone starting out, but most savers would be better served elsewhere - Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver, for instance, pays 3.40% with the same instant access structure.
