What is Newcastle Building Society'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 Newcastle Building Society offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

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 withdraw 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’ve 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).

What are the pros and cons of banking with Newcastle Building Society?
