Our Expert Opinion on TSB eSavings

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

TSB eSavings pays 1.00% on balances up to £24,999, but that includes a 0.10% bonus for the first 12 months, so the ongoing rate drops to 0.90% after that. The rate is well below the easy access market average, sitting 4.00% behind the current leader at 5.00%, and it also falls 2.10% short of CPI inflation at 3.1%, meaning your money loses real value. This account might suit someone who already banks with TSB and wants a simple linked saver without shopping around, but most savers would do better elsewhere - Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver, for instance, currently pays 3.40%.
