Sainsbury’s Bank is the first supermarket bank in the UK. It offers a wide range of award-winning financial products with attractive rewards to Sainsbury’s shoppers.
Sainsbury's Bank's top savings rate of 4.2% is available on one of its fixed-rate bond accounts.
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.
