Interest Rates Are Up, But Not For Current Accounts

In today's dynamic financial landscape, the importance of earning interest on your current account cannot be overstated. Many individuals in the UK have their hard-earned money sitting idle in non-interest-bearing current accounts within traditional banks, missing out on significant earnings potential. In this article, we will explore why interest on a current account is essential and how a forward-thinking company like One Group Fintech is revolutionizing the banking industry by offering higher interest rates on current account balances, empowering customers to make the most of their money.

The Missed Opportunity

As of September 30, 2022, data from the Bank of England revealed a startling £271 billion dormant in non-interest-bearing accounts within UK households. In spite of the Bank of England raising official base rate to 5.25%, the majority of mainstream banks do not provide attractive interest rates to their current account holders and many are left wondering why these traditional high street banks persist on offering minimal or no interest rates on current accounts. While some well-known high street banks like Santander, Nationwide and Lloyds Bank offer current accounts with some interest, they often come with limitations and caveats. Nationwide's current account with 5% fixed interest rate, for example, is only for newcomers and drops to 1% after a year. Others may restrict the funding amount or have tiered rates.

Consequently, due to the lack of competitive interest rates on current accounts by the mainstream banks, there is an annual loss of £5.4 billion in potential interest across all UK households, this is £200 per household—a significant missed opportunity for individuals to grow their wealth, secure their financial future, and achieve their financial goals.

One Group Fintech Vs Traditional Banks
