regular saver account that offers ten per cent interest.
Moreover, the banking organisation has also revealed that people
who set up a Bank Account Plus account at their local branch will
receive six per cent
interest on credit balances up to £2,500 for the first
year.
Mike Oliver, head of current accounts at the
savings account provider, explained that the offers may help
people manage their
finances while boosting their
savings .

A regular savings account involves the customer putting in a
pre-agreed amount of

of preferential
savings rates .
