In a monthly interest savings account the customer will receive their interest each month. Others pay interest on a quarterly or annual basis. You may receive less interest overall with a monthly interest savings account with easy access, but you can access your savings at any time, which is beneficial in an emergency situation, and you can boost your monthly income.  


There are numerous types of savings accounts with easy access and monthly interest options, such as:

 

  • Instant access cash ISAs

There are many advantages in opening an easy access account, such as:

 

  • Flexibility – the account is a safe place to store your savings while you earn interest and can access your savings at any time.
  • As there is no notice period you can withdraw your savings at any time without having to incur a loss of interest.


However, the disadvantages of this type of account are:

 

  • Interest rates may not be as high as they are in fixed rate accounts or with an annual interest payout
  • Possible delays in transferring savings from accounts and between different providers
  • You may not be permitted to arrange direct debits linked to your savings account.


You may wish to consider a tax free savings account in the form of an instant access ISA. In a tax free savings account, your savings are locked away and you will receive interest in a lump sum at the end of the term.


If you have substantial savings or are retired with a pension, a monthly interest savings account may be the best option for you.
