Once a really helpful site
This began as a really helpful site - a great place to make quick checks on your accounts and interest rates as well as finding more competitive rates. I've spotted an error every now and again and pointed it out by an email but never once have Savings Champion responded or even corrected their error. The site shows a lot out outdated rates now and you could be left thinking everything is good when it's most certainly not, or that a move to a different account will yield a better return when actually it doesn't. Maybe it's just Covid-related but they seem to have lost their way.
Very useful advice for me
Very useful advice for me as a retired nurse with savings that earn little interest.

Very unimpressed
Very unimpressed. Weekly newsletter always way out of date. Articles are like telling granny how to suck eggs. Best Buy tables always out of date. Variable rate savings table for easy access accounts always included accounts with just in of two withdrawals a year. Asked if they could have a true instant access account table and reply was an emphatic NO
First webinar i have ever done
for the first webinar i have ever done, it was extremely informative. From the first acceptance via email to logging into the site via the link, was easy, straightforward and user friendly. the only thing i did not know about was the chat box on the right until i noticed it at the end. just a minor issue on my part but overall, useful, entertaining and the presenter were, from what i heard, knowledgeable in there fields so happy with the content. if you wish to glean information on financial aspects of life, this is the one to use.
What an excellent experience
I hadn’t thought about moving my savings until NS&I had decided to dramatically reduce their interest rates, which prompted me to carry out a review. I’m really glad I did now and I guess it would have been beneficial to do this a while ago, but comfort and security in NS&I created a feeling of do nothing. I had seen Savings Champion pop up a few times during my searches and in newspapers, so I decided to contact them to find out what it was all about. From the very first, and prompt, phone call to them I was treated well, felt no pressure and was surprised to receive some advice there and then after sharing what I believed were my needs. Daniel Darragh at Savings Champion was absolutely superb from the first call, to assessing my needs and helping me think through options available, to carrying out the detailed research (along with the team!) through to assisting with the applications in some detail and right up until the point of confirmation from various banking institutions; and even then is available to me for advice and assistance. The fee I paid for the service will be paid back many times with the additional interest paid. Daniel is my rock star and I have no hesitation in recommending Savings Champion and I will certainly be using them again in the future. Thanks Daniel and the team at Savings Champion!

Misleading claim - why?
The claim that building societies perform better than banks is quite misleading. Best buy tables show quite clearly the opposite. This claim does not reflect well on Savings Champion.
Savings Champion provide a great…
Savings Champion provide a great service. Much is written about investing but there is little out there for people who want to save. We all want to make the most of our savings so good, honest, helpful advice is most welcome.
They are always informative and uptodate
They are always informative, up to date and it is very easy to access and understand. The website is easy to navigate and you can ring them directly should you need to. When time is short it saves you hours in searching the internet. Many thanks Savings Champion. Russell and Yvonne
A valuable tool for savers
Subscribing to Savings Champion is very valuable to savers in that it allows a regular overview of savings providers, changes to interest rates and in highlighting new products. The only whinge I have is that my occasional attempts to submit a question via its Webform hardly ever results in a reply. I've stopped bothering now. With this exception, I value Savings Champion's information and would recommend it.
