    Rothschild launches savings account

    Rothschild, an international finance organisation, has launched a new fixed-rate deposit account, signifying a positive shift in the market, according to one comparison site.

    Head of Savings Kevin Mountford at moneysupermarket.com implied that this provided customers with valuable extra choices when considering saving options.

    'Rothschild's two-year fixed-rate deposit account at a high 4.35per cent AER, brings some welcome competition to the market for those with a £20,000 deposit,' he said.

    As a result, he said it is 'not surprising' that pay is still going up, which could benefit those about to embark on graduate careers.

    Women earning less but saving more, expert notes

    Female graduates and other working women are saving a higher proportion of their income than their male counterparts, according to one industry commentator.

    Ruth Whitehead, Director of independent financial advisory firm Ruth Whitehead Associates, said that women tend to be 'tough and shrewd' when they need to make financial decisions.

    Her comments come after research by Halifax revealed very little difference between the average savings held by men and women in the UK.
