With the Bank of England interest rates widely predicted to remain at an historic low, or maybe fall as a measure to stave off the threat of deflation; the plight of Britain\u2019s savers is once again in the spotlight.<\/p>\n
According to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) more than \u00a3160bn in cash savings is languishing in low-interest accounts purely because consumers find it difficult to know what rate they are on and are reluctant to switch bank accounts due to the inconvenience.<\/p>\n
The FCA claims that the \u00a3700bn savings market “does not work well” for savers, with more than a fifth of all funds earning the same or less than the Bank of England’s 0.5pc base rate\u2026 which is clearly not a satisfactory situation for all those hoping to grow their savings towards a financially secure future. However, saving and investing your money does not have to be so frustrating.<\/p>\n
