Warning issued to anyone with £10,000 in their savings account
New research has found that millions of Brits are missing out on hundreds of pounds in interest by leaving large sums of money sat idle in their current accounts Millions of Brits are losing out on piles of cash annually due to a banking blunder – they're not moving large cash reserves from non-interest paying current accounts. Recent analysis has discovered around 8.3 million UK current accounts with balances over £10,000 are earning zero interest. These dormant accounts collectively hold a whopping £284 billion, a sum that could accrue substantial interest if placed in high-interest savings. The data is brought to light by Spring, the latest savings app incorporating Open Banking tech to sync seamlessly with user's current bank accounts. Spring boasts a 4.30% AER offer, beating typical high street banks' rates. Industry figures used by the app show every eleventh account holds an average of £33,961, and about 1.3 million of these have more than £50,000. Spring is raising the alarm on the 'current account coasters' - those folks who let excess cash sit idly in their accounts instead of transferring to a savvier savings option. Alarmingly, broader industry stats point to 74 million credit-positive current accounts that don't earn a penny in interest, reports the Express. Derek Sprawling, Savings MD at Spring, said: "Cumulatively, nearly £400 billion is held in current account balances in the UK. You would imagine that these would mainly consist of small balances, but our analysis shows that there are a significant number of accounts that contain sizeable funds, accounting for over half of the overall balance. "Most people sensibly maintain a small current account balance to cover emergency costs and everyday expenses, but leaving thousands of pounds in your current account means you will be missing out on hundreds of pounds in interest each year. "With nearly eight million current accounts containing significant balances, that money could work harder in a higher-paying savings account." He further stated: "Many people don't move those funds because they don't want to lose access to it but choosing a savings account that connects to a current account so you can transfer money in seconds and offers unlimited withdrawals, could provide a compelling alternative." Spring's app - available on iOS and Android - allows users to apply within minutes and link their accounts for instant access to savings features, including separate pots and easy withdrawals. It requires no bank switch and promises to help people develop better savings habits with minimal effort.

State pensioners born in certain years given immediate Winter Fuel Payment increase
State pensioners born in certain years given immediate Winter Fuel Payment increase The payment is worth £100 more depending on when you were born Not everyone is aware of the price differences (Image: Getty ) Millions of state pensioners were controversially stripped of their £300 Winter Fuel Payment over the winter, since the government declared the benefit would be means tested the issue has been highly contentious. It means the vast majority of state pensioners will no longer receive a £300 payment unless they claim a qualifying benefit. Subsequently, Sir Keir Starmer announced a partial reversal on the benefit, pledging to reassess the eligibility threshold to reinstate the payment to more pensioners. The specifics of how this will be implemented or what the criteria might be have not yet been disclosed. This week, Rachel Reeves announced that more pensioners will receive the winter fuel allowance this year, although it still won't be universal. Officials haven't yet said how many more pensioners will be eligible. Rachel Reeves said: "We have listened to the concerns that people had about the level of the means test and so we will be making changes to that. They will be in place so that pensioners are paid this coming winter. "People should be in no doubt that the means test will increase and more people will get winter fuel payment this winter." However, many aren't aware that if you do qualify for the Winter Fuel Payment this year, the exact amount you receive will vary depending on your birth year and possibly other circumstances as well. Article continues below The Winter Fuel Payment was previously automatically given to all state pensioners, but until any changes are announced, the current rule is that you must be claiming a qualifying benefit such as Pension Credit. Those who are of state pension age but under 80, meaning they were born on or before September 22, 1958, and who qualify will receive a £200 payment. However, those aged over 80 - born on September 23, 1944, or earlier - will receive £300, reports the Express. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here . The amount you receive is determined by your age and circumstances during the 'qualifying week' of September 16 to 22, 2024. If you missed this period, you can backdate Pension Credit claims until December, so it's still accessible now. Therefore, if you're over 80 and eligible, your Winter Fuel Payment will rise from £200 to £300. Most qualifying individuals will receive a letter detailing the amount they'll receive and the bank account in which it will be paid to, this is typically the same as the one used for your Pension Credit or other benefits. Article continues below Age UK said: "If you or your partner claims Pension Credit, Income Support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or income-related Employment and Support Allowance, the payment should go to the main claimant of the benefit automatically. "You should receive your payment between mid-November and Christmas. Call the Winter Fuel Payment helpline on 0800 731 0160 if you have any enquiries or you don't receive your payment."

Gird your loins, McDonald's fans: the Snack Wrap is back this summer
McDonald's fans have been very busy in the past ten years—ever since the beloved Snack Wrap was discontinued in 2016, diners have been asking the world-famous fast-food chain to bring back the treat. McD's devotees have desperately taken to social media and even created a petition that garnered almost 19,000 signatures in an effort to see the wrap on the menu again. And now those Snack Wrap dreams are coming true: the fan-favorite menu item is officially returning to participating McDonald's restaurants on Thursday, July 10. For those who aren't familiar, the Snack Wrap is a soft flour tortilla holding McCrispy strips—all-white-meat chicken strips that are breaded and fried—topped with lettuce, a mix of cheddar jack and Monterey Jack cheeses and your choice of sauce (ranch, honey mustard or salsa roja). The roll-up comes in two flavors: The spicy version has a touch of habanero pepper, a flavor aficionados might recognize from the Spicy McCrispy sandwich already on the menu, while the ranch option has those classic hints of garlic and onion. The Snack Wrap was phased out nationally in 2016, and now as we hit summer 2025 and its blistering temperatures, we have a chance to eat the chain's sole menu item that isn't hot (other than the desserts and beverages). It's a healthier option than many on the menu, coming in at less than 300 calories. And, as folks who created the petition point out, it's the perfect snack for a road trip because you can hold it in one hand and drive with the other.
