Our Expert Opinion on Progressive Building Society Online Instant Access Saver Account

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Progressive Building Society's Online Instant Access Saver pays 3.00%, which is below the market average for easy access accounts and sits 2.00% behind the category leader at 5.00%, so this is hard to recommend on rate alone. It also just about fails to keep pace with inflation, coming in 0.10% below CPI of 3.1% as of Aug 2026. The account does accept balances up to £5,000,000 and has no minimum worth worrying about, but I would still check Kent Reliance's Branch Easy Access Saver at 3.20% or Monzo's Select Access Savings at 3.15% before settling here.
