Martin Lewis urges people to check if they can get £1,200 from 'unbeatable' bank account

Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis is urging people to check if they can get £1,200 from a little-known bank account.

According to the financial journalist, the account is "unbeatable". But if you want to open one, you'll have to fit the criteria. You'll need to be on Universal Credit or benefits, and have less than £6,000 saved.

Help to Save is a type of savings account available to low income workers claiming Universal Credit or Working Tax Credit. It is run by the Government and offers a bonus of 50p for every £1 you save - this means you're getting a 50% return on your money.
