They are offering a one-year paying 4.40 percent, fixed until December 31, 2023.
Additionally, Britons can benefit from a two-year fixed bond paying 4.70 percent fixed until December 31, 2024.

Anna Bowes, co-founder of Savings Champion says: “It’s really interesting to see some of the big banks and building societies back in the best buy tables.
“Santander has already had a good showing in the fixed rate Isa tables, but this new easy-access account paying 2.75 percent is head and shoulders above the next best – and you don’t need to be an existing or current account customer to be eligible. Plus the maximum balance is £250,000.”
