We compared the value offered by free UK current and savings accounts, using data accurate as of 3 June 2025. To estimate the potential financial value per bank, we used the following assumptions based on ONS and Bank of England data: an average current account balance of £4,460, monthly savings up to the regular saver limit (ranging from £150 to £300, depending on the bank), and up to £1,500 in annual direct debits. Read our full methodology comparing the Biscuit bank account to other free current accounts.
Grow new savings with a tasty 7.10% AER* Regular Saver
Save up to £300 a month and watch a new Regular Saver pot build at 7.10% AER* (6.87% gross**). You can withdraw anytime, but this pot is designed to reward steady monthly saving.
It’s ideal if you’re starting a savings habit from scratch or want to put a little aside each month towards a goal. Assuming this rate stays the same for the next 12 months, you could earn up to £137 a year.
Regular Saver
Watch your dough rise with 2% AER* on your bank balance
You get 2% AER* (1.98% gross**) on your current account balance – with no limit on the interest you can earn. This rate is fixed for 12 months and variable after that.
Sweeten your spending with 2% cashback on bills
Earn 2% cashback on up to £1,500 of Direct Debits per year. And we’ll guarantee this rate for 12 months.
