There are quite a few free accounts that pay at least some interest. I spend half an hour each month swapping money from one account to another, which works out at quite a reasonable hourly rate. If you're prepared to switch accounts there's money to be made (I think First Direct at present give you a hundred, Nationwide give you and friend money if you persuade them to switch accounts). Most of the accounts that pay interest only take small amounts, and some of them need monthly payments, which means you only get the advertised interest rate for part of the year. Usually the attractive rates only last a year, so you then look for another one. Best accounts I have at the moment pay 6% (1st Direct regular Savings) 5% (Nationwide ditto) and 3% (Tesco and TSB regular Savings). You do need to keep a tight grip on things though, and most only pay on small deposits (suits me, I'm a poor pensioner with an expensive Land Rover habit). Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
