Award-Winning Digital Current Account Offers Higher Interest on Idle Cash and 1.5% Cashback

LONDON, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Most UK current accounts pay little or no interest on the everyday balance that people use for bills, purchases and upcoming expenses. An award-winning digital bank account is challenging traditional banking norms by offering higher interest on current account balances, along with cashback on both local and overseas spending.

Recently recognised as Best Newcomer at the British Bank Awards 2025, iFAST Global Bank's Multi Currency Current Account pays 2.9% AER (2.87% gross) on GBP balances. Your idle cash earns interest automatically while remaining fully accessible for daily use.

Additionally, customers can earn 1.5% cashback on up to £1,500 of eligible local and overseas card spending. This promotional cashback rate applies until 31^st December 2025. UK debit card only. T&Cs apply.

This combination makes it one of the limited number of current accounts that offer both interest and cashback.

How much can your idle cash earn?

Many customers keep substantial balances in their current account for flexibility. With the Multi Currency Current Account, that idle cash has the potential to earn interest while remaining fully accessible.

If you maintain £100,000 in your account for 12 months at 2.9% AER (variable)* on GBP, the balance becomes: £102,900 after one year.

You would have earned £2,900 quietly in the background. This eliminates the need of moving money between a savings and current account, while maintaining the flexibility to access your funds for daily use.

*The rate is as of 3 December 2025. Interest rates for other currencies are available on our website at www.ifastgb.com. Please refer to our website for full terms and conditions.
