What current accounts pay high interest?
While the Base Rate increased last month by 0.25% banks are in no hurry to pass this rate rise onto customers.
Typically most banks and building societies pay either a nominal amount of interest or no interest at all.
Some providers will pay higher interest on the first say £1,000 held on the account, and then pay a much lower rate on money held over this amount.
Currently the highest paying interest current account in the UK presently is the Nationwide Flex Direct Account paying 5% on up to balances of £2,500. After a year the account drops to 1%.
You could also consider their FlexPlus Account which pays a lower 3% on or up to £2,500, but with the rate staying at that level. However to get this deal a monthly fee of £13 is charged for the privilege.
