Savers are being urged to act quickly to secure better interest rates as savings returns continue to fall. According to Moneyfactscompare, easy access accounts now average 2.77%, down from 2.84% last month, following the Bank of England's base rate cut in February.

However, some providers still offer up to 7.5% on savings accounts and up to 5.6% on Cash ISAs, but many savers are missing out. Research from Yorkshire Building Society found that nearly 6.9 million instant access Cash ISA accounts in the UK earn 1.50% or less, reports .

Harry Walker, senior savings manager at Yorkshire Building Society, said: "It's surprising to see such a large amount still sitting in low-paying ISA accounts after a period of significant increases to savings interest in the last two years. This data follows on from our analysis earlier in the year calling for consumers to take time to review their finances."

He added: "The start of a new financial year provides the perfect opportunity to review finances and switch from low-paying accounts. Savers should act and consider how they can make their hard-earned cash stretch as far as possible."
