Savings Guide: More options than ever for savers to beat inflation - and good news about top easy access ISA
From easy access to fixed rate bonds, there are lots of savings accounts to choose from. Savers now have more options than ever to beat inflation. For this week's Savings Guide, Anna Bowes, expert from The Private Office, reviews the best account options on the market in June. Easy access There has not been a lot of change to the easy access table, apart from the addition of a new financial app provider, Snoop. Like other fintech providers such as Chip, Moneybox, Tembo, Plum, and Sidekick, Snoop offers savings and investment services. These companies are not banks themselves, but they partner with fully authorised and regulated banks. This means that funds placed in their savings accounts are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). However, it's important to remember that the FSCS protection limit of £85,000 applies per person, per bank. So if you already hold money with one of these underlying partner banks - either directly or through another financial app - you'll need to consider your total balance across all accounts. If you exceed the £85,000 limit, any amount over that may not be protected. Of the top five accounts listed in the table, Chase and Atom are also app-only, but unlike the fintechs above, these are authorised and regulated banks in their own right. For those who would prefer not to use an app-only provider, Cahoot's Simple Saver offers a straightforward, unrestricted, easy access account with an interest rate of 4.55% AER. However, note that after 12 months, any remaining funds in this account will be transferred to a Cahoot Savings Account, which currently pays only 1.20% AER. Fixed-term bonds The Bank of England's decision to keep the base rate on hold at 4.25% last week has given savers another reprieve - and the good news is that fixed-term bond rates have not only remained steady, but we've actually seen some improvements. Of the top five one-year fixed-term bonds, four are new and improved since the base rate decision last Thursday - and the top rate on offer has jumped up to 4.55% AER, from 4.50% a week before. It's not quite as impressive in the two-year table, but the top rate has edged up from 4.42% to 4.45% AER. However, we have also seen one provider cutting the rate it is offering very slightly, leaving the new rate high enough to keep it in the best buy tables. The longer-term tables have seen very little activity, which makes sense - although there was no base rate cut this time around, the trajectory is very much downwards, so providers don't want to be paying out more than they need to over the longer term. While the new, better rates are only marginally higher, it does mean that savers have more options than ever to choose from that still beat inflation - especially if we see inflation fall in the next few months and years. Fixed-term cash ISAs It's a similar picture for fixed-term ISAs - in fact, in some cases, it's even better. We've seen some rate hikes among the top longer-term accounts. And, just like with the one-year bonds, there have been multiple improvements. All of the top five fixed-term cash ISAs are now paying more than they were a week ago. The average has improved from 4.26% to 4.30% following a little battle between Cynergy, Castle Trust and Hodge. Cynergy is currently the winner, paying 4.35% tax free/AER. If you are looking to fix for two years, the top rates are still slightly lower, as the markets are expecting rates to fall in the next few months and years, but there have been a few increases in the meantime. The top rate available over this term is now 4.25% with both Cynergy Bank and United Trust Bank, with Vanquis falling slightly behind them, paying 4.22%. Over in the three-year table, the top rates are all exactly the same as in the two-year table, so if you want to hedge against further cuts by locking in for a bit longer, you're not missing out by doing so. Finally, in the five-year table, the average among the top five is 4.22%, which is the same as both the three-year and two-year terms, as the rates are very similar. However, the top five-year rate is very slightly less at 4.23% with the Nottingham Building Society. What term you choose all depends on what you think will happen to interest rates over the next few years. In the meantime, once again, there are plenty of inflation-beating accounts to choose from for those who have not yet used this year's ISA allowance or who are looking to switch from a poorer-paying ISA account. Easy access cash ISAs Competition has been more muted among the easy access cash ISA providers and we have seen a few rates being cut over the last few days. That said, the top easy access ISA with Plum increased the rate for new customers from 4.85% to 4.88% - an unexpected move as it was already paying quite a bit more than the rest of the field. For those who do not want to choose a financial-app-only fintech provider, the top rate is now a little less, as Vida Savings has reduced rates. The new best Easy Access ISA is with Kent Reliance, paying 4.46%. This is a refreshingly straightforward account, as there are no restrictions on the number of withdrawals you can make, and there is no short-term bonus to watch out for. It can be opened online or even in a branch if you live close to one. As ever, check all the terms and conditions to make sure you choose the best account to meet your needs.

Snoop Dogg says emotional goodbye to beloved family member after tragedy
Snoop Dogg, who won an American Music Award for Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and a Primetime Emmy Award more recently, shared two videos on Instagram, writing he misses his French bulldog Juelz Snoop Dogg's beloved dog - given to him as a birthday gift from Wiz Khalifa - has died. The rapper expressed his sadness in two Instagram videos following the loss of French bulldog Juelz. Wiz Khalifa gave his friend the pooch in 2014 as a present for his 43rd birthday. But in a video yesterday, Snoop, now 53, told the fans the upsetting news. Sitting in the front seat of his car, soundtracked by Weldon Irvine's Morning Sunrise, the hip hop legend shared his grief. The father of four, from Long Beach, California, wrote: "Rip @juelzbroadus [crying emoji]Thank wiz for giving him to me.(sic)" The rapper then shared a second video, which featured a montage of Juelz with Snoop and his family and friends over the years, with Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's See You Again playing over the top. He wrote: "Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus (sic)" 'Pocket bully' dog overpowers pensioner as armed police rush to fatal attack Juelz had his own Instagram account, which had thousands of followers and documented his adventures with his famous owner over the years. Meanwhile, Snoop - who has another French bulldog, Frank - recently admitted he is keen to open a food stall at Celtic Park, the Scottish home of his favourite soccer side Celtic. He told Scotland's Sunday Mail, which is our sister title: 'There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case. 'People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it. "The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon. The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' But Snoop has no interest in offering his food to Celtic's great rivals rangers. He said: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!' Snoop revealed back in 2012 that he wanted to buy shares in Celtic after watching the Parkhead side beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November that year. At the time he said: "I got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams...I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell...I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things."

Snoop Dogg Says Goodbye To His Longtime Companion In Emotional Post
is saying goodbye to one of his closest companions. The 53-year-old rap legend revealed on Thursday that his cherished French Bulldog, Juelz, has passed away after spending nearly 11 years by his side. Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news, posting a touching slideshow of photos and videos featuring the tiny pup over the years. "Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus," he captioned the tribute, which instantly had fans flooding the comments with condolences. Juelz wasn't just a pet. He was family. The adorable Frenchie was a birthday gift from fellow rapper and close friend back in 2014, when Snoop turned 43. Their bond quickly became unbreakable, with Juelz joining Snoop's pack of pets and becoming a perfect complement to his other French Bulldog, Frank. In a follow-up post, the "Drop It Like It's Hot" hitmaker gave thanks to Wiz, writing, "Rip @juelzbroadus [crying emoji] thank wiz for giving him to me [red rose emoji] [dove emoji]." Fans quickly flooded Snoop's post with messages of love and support, many of them sharing their own experiences with the deep pain of losing a beloved pet. "My guy, losing a dog is worse than losing a person… I said it," one of Snoop Dogg's followers wrote, summing up the emotional weight felt by many. Another added, "I have 3 Frenchies and I dread the day God wants them home. I'm so sorry for your loss." The heartbreak was especially real for fellow Frenchie owners, with one fan commenting, "As a Frenchie mum, my heart is breaking for you," while another shared, "Losing our fur kids is losing a family member." The outpouring of compassion was a testament to just how loved Juelz was, not only by Snoop's inner circle but by fans across the globe who had grown to adore the tiny pup over the years. Over the years, Juelz earned his own fanbase, even starring on his own Instagram account where Snoop shared countless snaps of the stylish pup's day-to-day antics. Though the posts slowed in recent years, the last one appearing in June 2021, Juelz remained a beloved member of the Broadus household. Juelz is by far the only animal Snoop has had. In addition to Juelz and Frank, Snoop Dogg also owned pit bulls Lil Snoop and Mamba, as well as Siamese cats named Miles Davis and Frank Sinatra. But Juelz may have been his most well-known furry friend, thanks to his public presence and personality. Fans may recall the scare back in January 2022 when Frank, Snoop's other Frenchie, went missing. The rapper launched a full-blown social media campaign to find him, posting flyers and asking for help. Thankfully, a kind couple in Los Angeles located Frank and helped reunite him with his family just days later. "I want to thank y'all for returning the dog back to us. We appreciate that. Frank made his way back home," Snoop said in an Instagram video at the time. "We appreciate all the love and support we got on Instagram to get the dog back. And to the lovely couple that brought the dog back, I've got some gifts for y'all for looking out." Snoop Dogg's love for animals has always been front and center, and it extends far beyond his own pets. In fact, the rap legend has proudly worn the title of Coach Snoop at Puppy Bowl XVIII, where he teamed up with longtime friend to co-host the beloved annual event. Snoop took the reins as coach of Team Fluff, while Martha led Team Ruff, with both stars championing adoptable pups from shelters across the country. Now, as Snoop Dogg grieves the loss of Juelz, he's once again leaning on his fans and followers for support, and honoring a dog who brought nearly a decade of love, laughs, and loyalty. Rest in peace, Juelz.
