How we picked theseThe 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 Marcus by Goldman Sachs offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

"The easy access account’s a good option if you’re happy with app-only access to your savings account. Marcus regularly offers temporary interest boosters, which you need to manually activate on your account to receive the highest interest rate available to you. They are a welcome surprise, but this account might not be suitable if you would rather an out of sight, out of mind approach with little admin. You need to keep on top of your emails from Marcus to ensure you are receiving the highest interest rate, as the boosters are quite significant amounts.It was very easy to open the account and the app has a simple interface.
If there’s one thing you’d tell a friend who’s thinking of getting this, what would it be?
Mark Marcus as a high priority sender in your emails!”"
