Our claims, checked
Every saving we claim, on this site, in the app, on TikTok or in the Friday email, with the sums and the sources behind it. The figures are rebuilt from live data every hour. If the data stops backing a claim, it is marked withdrawn here, with the reason, and we stop making it.

Up to £300 for switching your bank account.
From Barclays' own page, checked 24 October 2026.
- The offer
- Barclays Bank Account: £300
- To get it
- Only £150 is paid for switching and paying in a minimum £2,000 salary within 30 days. The other £150 needs five months of account use, including 10 eligible debit card transactions and £2,000 salary each month.
- Open to most people
- Offers only for Premier customers or a minimum income are left out of the headline
Where we say it: Bank switching offers, Barclays switch offer
It stops being true if: The bank withdraws or cuts the offer: the claim follows the record, which is checked against the bank's own page.
- Checked today
Regular savers paying up to 8.00% AER.
From Santander's own page, checked 17 October 2026.
- The account
- Santander Regular Saver: 8.00% AER
- The catch
- Needs a Santander current account. The 8.00% includes a 5.00% bonus for the first 12 months, then drops to 3.00%.
- What it really pays
- Each monthly payment earns only for the months it is in the account, so about half the headline rate on what you pay in; the regular saver calculator works it out exactly
Where we say it: Regular saver calculator, Savings
It stops being true if: The provider cuts the rate: the claim follows the record, checked against the provider's own page.
