Egg 'Best Online Savings Provider'

Egg has been named 2009's best online savings provider at the Consumer Money Awards.

The awards, which are organised by The Daily Mirror and financial data experts Moneyfacts, were introduced to let consumers "reward the good guys".

Over 40,000 people voted in the online poll held in September.

Ordinary consumers were asked to vote for the banks and building societies that they thought were doing a good job, despite the current economic climate.

In the 'Best Online Savings' category, customers were asked to vote for the best all-round online account based on product value and charging structures that were fair and transparent.

Sharon Maguire, Head of Egg’s Retail Banking and Wealth Management, said the award was a reflection of "all the hard work that we've been putting in to our savings products".

"We proudly offer value for money and great service, which has made us popular with savers, particularly for our savings accounts and Fixed Rate Bonds," she said.

"This success has come about through helping customers to understand and manage their money more effectively."
