UK SAVINGS : 5 % INTEREST RATE DEALS MAY NOT LAST , SAY EXPERTS

What happened: NS&I raised rates on its British savings bonds, with several accounts now paying more than 5% for the first time in nearly three years. Experts warn attractive savings deals may not last. Key numbers: One-year growth bond 4.99% (from 4.82%), two-year 5.07% (from 4.81%), three-year 5.1% (from 4.83%), five-year 5.17% (from 4.85%). Why it matters: Moneyfactscompare's Rachel Springall says providers pull products once they attract enough savings cash. AJ Bell's Sarah Coles says you can still make more money elsewhere, and top rates may require less-well-known names.
