Our Expert Opinion on TSB Save Well Limited Access Account

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

TSB's Save Well pays 3.00% AER, but that rate only applies in months where you make no withdrawals at all - dip into the pot even once and the rate collapses to 0.25% for that month, which is the real catch here. The account sits below the easy access market average, trailing the category leader by 2.00%, and at 3.00% it is 0.10% below August 2026 CPI inflation of 3.1%. If you want genuine easy access without penalty, Spring's Easy Saver at 3.82% is worth a look.
