Meanwhile, savers should shop around for the best rate.” Harriett Baldwin, chair of the Treasury Committee, said Britain’s biggest banks have been too slow to pass on higher interest rates to savers
Overall, customer deposits across the group grew by £2.4 billion between July and September, compared with the previous three months.
