What is TSB'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 TSB offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

Savings account types include Easy access, cash ISAs, fixed-rate bonds, regular savers, business

How to open a TSB savings account

Opening a TSB savings account depends on the type. Fixed bonds, ISAs and instant access accounts can be opened online or in a branch. A Monthly Saver is available to existing TSB current account customers and can be opened online or in-branch.

Depending on the account, you have the option to manage them online, in a branch, over the phone or in the TSB app.

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’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.)
  • Rewards and loyalty schemes (If you’re into add-ons or switching bonuses.)

Is my money safe with TSB?

Should anything go wrong, all eligible deposits with TSB up to a total of £85,000 per person are guaranteed by the British government. This is what’s known as the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), and is the same scheme that protects customers of most of, if not all, the major banks and building societies in the UK.

What are the pros and cons of banking with TSB?

Pros

  • Online banking. TSB’s adult savings accounts can be managed online, so you can take care of your savings wherever you are. The instant access savers even let you handle your account in its mobile app.
  • Flexibility. TSB offers a range of savings accounts which provide options for all types of savers.

Cons

  • Better rates elsewhere? Rates aren’t market leading, so you might be able to get better elsewhere.
  • IT problems. TSB has suffered from IT issues in recent times. In April 2018 thousands of customers were locked out of their accounts.
  • Poor customer service scores. Only 54% of TSB customers would recommend their bank to others based on overall service quality, according to an annual survey commissioned by the Competition and Markets Authority.

Frequently asked questions

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you.
