Our Expert Opinion on Vida Savings Easy Access

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vida Savings Easy Access pays 3.80%, which is below the market average for easy access accounts and 1.20% behind the category leader at 5.00%, so it is hard to recommend this as a primary savings home. The rate does at least beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 0.70%, meaning your money retains some real value. You need at least £500 to open and can hold up to £500,000, so it suits larger balances in principle, but alternatives in the JSON such as First Active at 4.05% or XTB at 4.00% offer meaningfully better rates with the same instant access flexibility.
