It can be easy to forget about savings accounts, however this can be a costly mistake as terms and conditions change.
Choosing the right savings account for you takes time and energy. An lot of what is, for most people, pretty dull research has to be done. Small print must be trawled though, arcane terminology unpicked and risks and benefits put into the balance. Once that is done though, and the direct debits are set up, that very much seems like that.
It is of course comforting to know that without you having to do anything further the nest egg that you are building for a rainy day will continue to grow month on month. The problem is that not all savings products are ‘fire and forget’ with many of you requiring that you keep a beady eye on them.
Often the rates offered by savings accounts are only set for a fixed period. After this time the account holders can find themselves earning dramatically less interest on the money that they have put away. It is all too easy to let a once attractive savings account morph itself into a real donkey.
