Our Expert Opinion on Paragon Bank Easy Access Savings Account

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Paragon Bank's Easy Access Savings Account pays 1.50%, which sits below the market average for easy access accounts and 3.50% behind the current market leader at 5.00%. The rate also falls 1.60% below CPI inflation of 3.1% (Aug 2026), meaning your money is losing real purchasing power. This account suits someone who simply wants a low-friction home for cash with no minimum balance requirement, but I would still check Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver at 3.40% or Kent Reliance's Branch Easy Access Saver at 3.20% before committing here.
