What is Lloyds Bank's best savings account with the highest interest rate?
The best savings account depends on what you want from your savings. If you're after fast access to your money, then an easy-access account should suit you. However, if you're happy to lock your money away for a time to access 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. Below, we've listed the different types of accounts Lloyds Bank offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

Best regular saver rate | 6.25% |

How do I decide which account is for me?
Firstly, you need to decide what you’re looking for in a savings account. How often are you planning to draw out money? How much money can you afford to save each month?
You need to work out what you need before comparing the different offers available for certain types of savings accounts. Once you have done that, 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.)
How to open a Lloyds savings account
- With all Lloyds’ savings accounts you must be 16 or older.
- You must also be a resident in the UK for tax purposes.
- Most of the accounts discussed can be opened at a branch, online or over the phone.
Does Lloyds offer online or mobile banking?
Yes, Lloyds offers online and mobile banking services, so you can bank with ease wherever you are. Well, at least somewhere with Internet connection.
What are the pros and cons of banking with Lloyds?

- Flexibility. Lloyds offers several savings account options, so there’s bound to be one suited to your needs.
