The firm says its new Aviva Save platform offers a range of fixed saving accounts at “competitive prices.”
The insurer added that it will also allow customers to choose savings offers from other banks and manage them digitally in one place.
The launch follows a recent monetary policy report released by The Bank of England last month. The report stated that households in the UK had accumulated savings of £125 bn during the pandemic, which equals £5,000 per household.
Aviva MD of retail savings and retirement Roger Marsden said: “Whilst many savers may be frustrated with the low returns they’ve received on their savings during lockdown, the effort involved in moving their money around is often a barrier for them and stops them doing anything at all.
