Helping you plan ahead for a stress-free Christmas 2026

We’re excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Christmas Saver 30 Day Notice Account, available from 1 November 2025.

Designed to help you prepare for the festive season with ease, this account offers a smart and flexible way to build up a Christmas fund for 2026, helping take the pressure off and enjoy a more relaxed celebration when the season rolls round again next year.

Our research tells us that in 2024, over 9 million UK adults went into debt due to Christmas spending¹, with the average cost reaching £1,811 per person, nearly 80% of a typical monthly salary². Many relied on credit, and a significant number were still repaying festive debt six months later³.

To ease this financial pressure and help you build your pot gradually, the Christmas Saver 30 Day Notice Account offers:

• 5.00% variable interest to help your savings grow
• Open with just £1
• Save up to £100 per month
• Flexible deposits – pay in less, or even miss a month if you need to
• 30 days’ notice required for withdrawals before maturity
• On 1 November 2026, the account converts to an Easy Access account, giving full access just in time to start your Christmas shopping.

Whether it’s gifts, gatherings, or getaways, saving a little regularly can make a big difference. This account helps spread the cost and reduce financial stress, so you can focus on what really makes Christmas special.

Mel Aspden, Savings Product Manager, said:

“We understand the pressure families can feel when it comes to making Christmas special. While we can’t guarantee the perfect tree or a flawless Christmas dinner, we hope this new account can help ease the financial burden and take some of the stress out of the season when it comes around again in 2026.

We’re strong believers in the power of saving little and often, and this account is designed to make that easy, achievable and rewarding.”
