    I took up my first job and was wondering if you could help me to decide on the right saving account. I am considering a regular saving account since these tend to have the highest interest rate. Any recommendations? Many cheers!

    Well up until today i would of suggested the AIB regular savers account with and A.E.R of 7.1% but from what i read in the independent today that is going back to 4%. (see article here: link)

    So I'm also now wondering what is the best savings account use in the new year. I have around EUR1000 lump sum and i was saving EUR 100 a month?

    In fairness, they only dropped the promotional rate on the first €10,000 which was hardly surprising as it was only attracting people who weren't leaving their funds in Rabo long term and were sticking 10k in solely for the 5% interest, and taking it out when they spotted a deal more to their liking.

    Form what i see Halifax has a regular saver account with interest of 7% and First active has a regular saver account with interest of 7.15%.

    Question is how long will they remain that way. They could easily follow AIB.
