Best UK savings account

[jwof2006]

Hi Guys,

I have 10,000 Sterling from working in N.I a number of years back. I have left it in my Bank of Ireland UK savings account as a rainy day fund, but it is only getting 1.5% interest. Is anyone aware of a better place I could let it sit? Can I open an account with other UK accounts with an Irish address?

Thanks,
Jack

Options include:

Lightyear - 4.50% with 20k (EUR equivalent protected).
Trading212 - 5.00%.
A money market fund such as - CSH2 via London Stock Exchange - yield of around 5.19% as it is supposed to track SONIA but it yielded more over the last year.

Thanks Lightning. So are regular UK savings accounts not really an option? Thanks, Jack

I have accounts in AIB Northern Ireland and HSBC UK. Neither of these banks allow new non resident savings accounts.
