Fixed-rate regular savings accounts pay up to 2.75% – more than twice the top easy-access rate 

Savers with money to spare each month should consider opening a regular savings account.

Analysts at Moneyfacts say the best deals for drip-feeding spare cash are fixed-rate plans linked to current accounts. 

The top easy-access accounts currently pay 1.2 per cent. 

But First Direct, HSBC and M&S Bank all pay 2.75 per cent on savings of between £25 and £250 a month to current account holders.

Lloyds pays 2.5 per cent to Club Lloyds members and 2 per cent to others — as do Bank of Scotland and Halifax.

To earn these rates you must not touch the money for at least a year, and commit to saving monthly.
