eight in 10 savings accounts lose cash

More than eight in ten savings accounts are paying such a paltry interest rate that customers are effectively losing money, research revealed yesterday.
 
At this level of inflation, Britain’s 2.9 million higher rate taxpayers are losing money in real terms if the interest rate paid by their bank or building society is below 2.5 per cent. This calculation takes into account the fact that tax is deducted from interest payments.
 
But 91 per cent of savings accounts pay below this rate, according to research from the comparison website Moneynet.co.uk.
