New analysis from Moneyfactscompare is revealing the best savings accounts for this week with NatWest, Nationwide Building Society and Royal Bank of Scotland
In recent years, savers have benefited from the central bank's decision to raise the base rate with the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) hiking rates to as high as 5.25 per cent.

Rachel Springall, Finance Expert at Moneyfactscompare.co.uk said: "In an encouraging turn of events, there were a few improvements to the top rate tables across fixed rate bonds and cash ISAs over the past week, leading to new market-leading offers for savers to contemplate.
"Those looking to improve their savings habit will find competitive regular savers accounts as an ideal choice, and locking into a fixed rate is great for those who feel variable rates are doomed to fall further over the next few months.
"Picking the right savings account does come down to someone’s individual circumstances, and aside from chasing the top rates, it’s important to ensure they stay within their Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) and take advantage of their ISA allowance to protect their hard-earned cash from tax.
"There are mixed expectations for the path of interest rates in the coming months, particularly with another base rate decision on the horizon. However, it will be up to savers to keep an eye on their pots and switch if they are not being rewarded for their loyalty."
