Interest rates on variable & fixed saving account should be in line with the BOE
All banks in the UK should put their variable and fixed interest rates in line with the Bank Of England and have a cap on minimum deposits so everyone can access them. Too many banks are putting their deposits in the £10,000 region when they should all be from a £1. Giving everyone equal access.
The government should force the banks, to follow the Bank Of England interest rates and not be bellow them. They change mortgage rates quickly to be in line with the Bank Of England and they make sure their interest is the same as the Bank of England and or more than the BOE. Yet when it comes to savings accounts they are dragging their heels and putting it way bellow the base rate. Best on the market right now is 2.25% when it should be from 3% up.
