Savings Guru Verdict
United Trust offers a very competitive range of savings accounts, particularly fixed rates, notice and long term ISA savings, and has been a mainstay of our best buys in 2022. It grew its deposit book by 21% in 2021.
They have recently introduced internet banking for both application and ongoing management of accounts for savers. However, ISAs can still only be opened by post currently, although they can be managed online once opened.
