What is Tesco 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 Tesco Bank offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.
| Savings account types include | Cash isas, fixed-rate bonds |
|---|---|
| Best cash ISA rate | 4.07% |
| Best fixed-rate bond rate | 4.33% |
| Fixed bond terms | 1 year - 5 years |
| Opening options | Website, telephone |

What are the pros and cons of saving with Tesco Bank?
Pros
- Online and mobile. Manage your savings accounts online or in the Tesco Bank app. Transfer your money between your Tesco accounts and check your balances and transactions.
- Savings card allows cash withdrawals. Some of its instant access savings accounts come with a card which can be used to make ATM withdrawals straight from the account.
- Junior ISA. Made for children that don’t have a trust fund. You can start off small and build up the savings pot over time.
Cons
- Better interest rates elsewhere. Decent rates with some of these options but better ISA and savings account interest rates elsewhere.
- Easy access is not so easy compared to some competitors. Tesco Bank’s main easy access savings account comes with daily withdrawal limits.
- Bonus rates. Look out for “bonus” rates that can drop drastically after an intro honeymoon period. At that point, change to a different Tesco Bank savings account or save with a new bank.
