LecturerGood morning. Once you've decided to save, the next question is where to put the money, and the choice matters more than most people realise.
LecturerThe most flexible option is an easy-access account, which lets you withdraw your money whenever you wish, with no penalty at all.
LecturerIf, on the other hand, you can leave the money untouched, a fixed account locks it away for a set term in exchange for a higher rate of interest.
LecturerIn the UK, the smartest first choice is often an ISA, because all the interest you earn inside one is completely tax-free.
LecturerWhen you compare accounts, always look at the AER — the annual rate that lets you weigh them up fairly against each other.
LecturerReassuringly, in the UK your savings are protected up to eighty-five thousand pounds per bank, even if that bank were to collapse.
