What is Virgin Money's best savings account with the highest interest rate?
Remember that the best savings account will depend on what you want from your savings. If you're after fast access to your money then an easy access account should suit. However, if you're looking to happy to lock your money away for a period of time to unlock a higher rate, then a fixed-rate bond is a good option. Finally, if you're looking to maximise your returns and shield them from income tax, consider an ISA.

How do I decide which account is for me?
First things first, you need to work out what you’re looking for in a savings account. How often will you want to take money out? Can you afford to stash away large amounts?
If you’re happy to lock away your funds for a year or more and you have a lump sum to invest, a fixed rate bond could be suitable. But if you need access to your money or you want to add to your savings over time, an easy access account might be better.
Once you’ve worked out your financial situation, it’s useful to look at:
- Interest rates.
- Fees (if there are any).
- Access to cash (if you need quick access, for instance).
- Rewards and loyalty schemes (if you’re into add-ons or switching bonuses).
