Sole saving account beats inflation

The number of inflation-beating savings accounts on the market has shrunk from 227 a year ago to just one today, according to a financial website.

Moneyfacts found that of the 804 accounts on the market, including Isas, the only one to beat inflation and basic rate tax is a fixed-rate seven-year bond from Skipton Building Society, paying 3.5%.
