Over the last decade, the digitisation of banking services has led to a much larger marketplace for savers, allowing them to look beyond the traditional high-street banks to access more competitive rates. Yet the market share for the top five UK banks is a staggering 82.6%, despite the fact there are over 150 banks taking deposits in the UK.
Since 2008, the rates of savings have been ultralow, sometimes losing value once inflation is taken into account. This problem was less noticeable during the low-inflation years between 2010-2021; however, the higher rate of inflation seen since the pandemic means that capital is now depreciating at a faster pace.
In addition, the Bank of England has adjusted the base rate multiple times since 2022, so interest rates available on savings account have changed frequently. Keeping up to date with new bank accounts and constantly changing interest rates is a persistent challenge that most people just don’t have the time or appetite for. That’s where we can help.
