The no-brainer savings deal - This is Money Show

The no-brainer savings deal - This is Money Show

Is this the best financial product ever? From a saver's point of view the Help to Buy Isa may just be that.

Much of the work at This is Money involves uncovering bad behaviour at banks and other providers of financial products.

Anyone would think bankers had no morals.

Of course, we also work hard to praise the good stuff.

One banker this week, claims a product has been launched that has no downside. Really?

Is there finally something too good to be true that is actually true?

Editor Simon Lambert and This is Money’s money product expert Laura Whitcombe pore over the new help-to-buy Isa that hands free money to first time buyers.

But what’s the catch?

Also on the show…

It’s going to get tough for home owners for all sorts of reasons.

It’s already getting tough for buy-to-letters – but is that such a bad thing?

What’s the matter with people and their unhealthy relationship with credit cards?

Does anyone care about climate change when you can save a few quid on your ‘lectric?

Are you earning less than a tractor driver?

Help small shops and small businesses. They’re lovely.

And cake.
