Lucinda O’Brien, an expert at money.co.uk, broke down the importance of people taking advantage of hiked interest rates on savings accounts while they still have the chance.

She explained: “While cash provides immediate access, having money in a savings account enhances financial security, facilitates long-term financial planning and gives you the opportunity to earn some interest.

“The interest earnings help to offset the impact of rising prices as inflation can lead to a decrease in the purchasing power of money.

“If you keep a significant amount of physical currency over an extended period without it earning interest or growing in value, its real value will decline.”
