Although these accounts can provide customers with several useful benefits, it is always important to weigh up the pros and cons that are associated with this type of account.


Pros

 

  • Customers can move extra money from their current account into this account for savings purposes, and can still access it at any time
  • Interest may be earned considerably faster in comparison to a current account
  • No notice period must be given for withdrawals, and customers may not be subjected to any penalties for withdrawing money


Cons

 

  • Despite the increase in savings and relative accessibility offered by this type of account, they are not as practical as current accounts. Customers cannot use these accounts to pay for many every day transactions, such as direct debits and bill payments.
  • Although many accounts are advertised as ‘instant access’ it is worth remembering that it may take up to three days for any money to be transferred between accounts.
  • In the UK, no notice savings accounts may not generate the same level of interest that is provided by other savings orientated accounts, the interest earned will also be taxed
