Our Expert Opinion on Plum Easy Access Savings Pocket

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Plum's Easy Access Savings Pocket is provided by Investec Bank and suits existing Plum app users who already pay for a higher subscription tier. The headline 3% rate is below the market average for easy access and 2.00% behind the market leader at 5.00%, so standalone savers will find better options elsewhere. The real catch is that reaching 3.63% requires a £14.99 monthly subscription, which eats into your returns. If you want straightforward easy access, Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver pays 3.40% without the subscription overhead.
