Using a high interest saving account
18 June 2008
Saving account products differ in the advantages they can provide you with, so it is essential you understand how to use each kind of saving account to get the greatest benefit. Regular transaction accounts do not provide you with much more than a safe place to store your money. This is not the case with high interest accounts, as often you will suffer penalties for making withdrawals. In order to get the best of both worlds, it can be a good idea to leave money in a normal saving account each month, and then transferring leftover funds to high interest accounts once you have used the money you need.
