Help your clients maximise savings in wake of NS&I rate cuts

by Insignis Cash Solutions in Industry Perspective

With NS&I rate cuts in effect as of 24 November, we discuss an available savings alternative for customers.  

One of the largest savings organisations, NS&I, has slashed their rates by more than 99%, dropping their top easy-access rate to just 0.01%. This is part of a wider set of cuts across their variable rate savings products.

Why have the NS&I cuts taken place?

The state-backed savings provider, NS&I, must strike the balance between the interests of savers, taxpayers, and the broader financial services sector. The savings provider is set a yearly target by HM Treasury, which states the amount of money it can raise. In the wake of the pandemic this year, its target increased from £6bn to £40bn for the year. Even with the new targets in place, the public continued to increase their savings with NS&I, raising over £38bn in just the last two quarters.

All of this has culminated leaving NS&I taking drastic action to implement significant cuts on its products. In doing so, NS&I aims to disincentivize customers from saving money with them, thereby controlling the amount of money its raising. The taxpayer will benefit as the government will be able to raise money more cheaply whilst simultaneously ensuring NS&I’s interest rates are aligned appropriately against those of competitors.

While this is obviously a blow to NS&I savers, we recognise the need for NS&I to meet various stakeholder needs.

So how can I help my clients maximise savings?
