Our Expert Opinion on United Trust Bank Easy Access Account

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

United Trust Bank's Easy Access Account pays 3.75%, which is below the market average for easy access accounts and sits 1.25% behind the current leader at 5.00%, so I would not call this rate particularly strong. That said, it does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 0.65%, meaning your money is at least growing in real terms. The main practical catch is the £5,000 minimum to open, which rules out smaller savers, and the £150,000 cap limits very large deposits. If 3.75% is your target, Kent Reliance and NS&I offer the same rate and may be worth comparing.
