Alice Haine, Personal Finance analyst at investment platform Bestinvest, said: " The era of cheap money is well and truly over, so households should prioritise clearing expensive unsecured debt and building up a Rainy Day pot to withstand any unexpected expenses.
" Those fortunate enough to have spare money to save should move fast, as The Top deals get snapped up quickly. "
In response to criticism, bank bosses have argued that attempts have been made to encourage savers to look at all the available deals.
