Higher Interest Rates - Savings accounts with an online bank will generally offer higher interest rates on any funds you keep in the account. While the amount of interest may not be substantially higher with every online account it can be at least one or two percentage points more, and in some cases much more than this.

That’s a great point—higher interest rates are one of the strongest advantages of online banking. Many digital banks offer noticeably better returns because they operate with lower overhead costs. Even a small increase in interest can make a meaningful difference over time, especially for long-term savers looking to maximise their earnings.
