Britons stash over £1bn at home as interest rates on savings dwindle

The most popular reasons the 2,000 people surveyed gave for keeping cash at home include being able to s ee it, using it for everyday spending, and convenience.  Many are unhappy with the interest they were making on other savings and a whopping 17 per cent said their savings were generating no interest at all.

Piggy banks are a great starting point for children learning the basics of saving money, but there is a clear opportunity for adults to gather their stockpiles together and make their money work harder for them.  Whether it is under the mattress, in a bottle, or in a sock drawer, that money could be contributing towards your savings goals.
