Make the Most of Your Cash
We firmly believe that everyone should keep a proportion of their wealth in cash. Although cash has historically provided lower returns than many investments, it offers near total security and the ready access that many people need.
There are many different types of cash accounts from instant access to savings accounts to longer term deposit accounts. There are a wide range of rates and specifications for each account, making the process of deciding which accounts to use a tricky and time consuming process. Banking and savings institutions regularly change their rates and new cash accounts are coming on to the market all the time.
Many people are reluctant to take the time to manage their cash as they find the process complex and may believe that the difference between the best and worst accounts is minimal. On the contrary, we have found that those (especially with significant sums held in cash) can earn significantly higher interest when their cash is actively managed and the best accounts are used.

Your money is always saved in your name – we only provide information, recommendations and ongoing monitoring services.
