Our take
Pros
- A reasonable minimum: 3000 pounds to open.
- High flexibility: Withdraw and deposit without restrictions and monthly or quarterly payouts.
Cons
- The interest rate is low: the highest tier only reaches 7.5% compared to current interest rates.
- Slider increments: the small amounts, the first few sliders, their interest will anyway be less than 7.5%.
Our take
This account from Crédit Agricole is better for you if you're saving, and your money grows gradually with the freedom to withdraw and deposit, but its maximum interest (7.5%) isn't the best in the market right now.
