Set up savings account online

MARKS & Spencer plans to close ALL current accounts and its 29 bank branches this year. The closures, which will take effect this summer, are a result of a surge in online banking. The bank branches are located within M&S stores, but the travel money bureaux branches, which are located in over 100 stores, are unaffected. M&S told The Sun it aims to redeploy branch workers where possible, but it couldn't confirm how many are at risk of redundancy due to an ongoing consultation. M&S' current account has already closed to new customers, but it'll be available to existing customers until August 2021.

A MONEY expert has explained how to give your kids a £2.1million pension pot by saving £7.90 a day in their first 10 years. Parents can give their offsprings the retirement windfall by setting up a so-called Junior Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) when they're born. The account lets you save up to £2,880 tax-free each year, and the government then tops it up by 25%, transforming it to £3,600.
