Savings accounts
If you want to save money regularly or store away some spare money for later, it’s a good idea to use a savings account.
Unlike current accounts, you cannot access the money you put into a savings account whenever you like. However, you earn more interest on money in a savings account than you would if it were in a current account.
All banks and building societies offer savings accounts.
