Are there any decent rates still out there?

Providers are expected to make further cuts in the next few weeks, so savers are advised to act quickly when they see a good fixed deal to guarantee the rate.

The best one-year bond pays 1.6pc and is offered by Ikea owned Ikano Bank. The Swedish provider is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which protects deposits of £75,000.

Instead Ikano subscribes to the European equivalent, which covers savings of up to €100,000. If the bank went bust you would claim in the same way as in the UK, although you could face language and exchange rate issues.

Paragon Bank’s one-year bond pays 1.55pc and is protected by the FSCS.

An 18-month bond offers a slightly higher rate – savers could get 1.65pc from the Bank of Cyprus UK.

Paragon Bank offers the best two-year bond, paying 1.8pc, and Ikano Bank’s three-year bond pays 1.9pc.

Rates on variable accounts can change at any time. Currently RCI Bank's easy-access Freedom Savings account pays the top rate of 1.45pc.

High-interest current accounts can pay up to 5pc on small balances; they include Nationwide's FlexDirect and TSB's Classic Plus account. These accounts can offer great returns to savers - as long as they last.
