Savings Guru Verdict

Aldermore is the longest established of the new wave of banks who have entered the market since the financial crisis.  It now looks after over £14.1bn of deposits and offers the widest range of savings accounts to personal savers.

While it is rarely the best buy, Aldermore consistently offers competitively priced savings which are above those available from the big five banks.
