Martin Lewis warns anyone with a savings account to 'check it now'

Financial journalist and MoneySavingExpert, Martin Lewis, has issued an strong warning to anyone who has money stashed in a savings account. He says "check it now" as you could be being underpaid.

In his latest newsletter, the financial champion says that it doesn't matter how big or small your savings pot is, people must ensure they are getting the best value for money. It is estimated that UK households put a staggering £180billion extra aside during the pandemic as more people were able to work from home and make savings.

However, as workers return to the office and the cost of living crisis builds, more families are being forced to tighten their belts. Martin is encouraging those with savings to make sure they are getting the best from any savings pots.
