Our Expert Opinion on Moneybox Simple Saver

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

The Simple Saver pays 2.40% as standard, rising to 3.40% if you hold a qualifying Moneybox ISA, LISA, JISA, pension, or Reward Savings Account. Even at 3.40%, that sits 2.60% below the easy access market leader at 5.00%, and the standard rate is 0.70% below August 2026 CPI of 3.10%, so your money loses real value. Access is limited to one withdrawal per month, which is a meaningful restriction for a supposedly easy access account. Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver matches the 3.40% reward rate without the product-holding condition.
