Welcome to This Is Money podcast. I'm Georgie Frost and alongside me and editor Simon Lambert today is Assistant Editor Lee Boyce.

And coming up is loyalty finally paying off, especially for savers. We look at the banks and building societies pledging the best returns for existing customers.

Also today we are a step closer to Britcoin. Who will pay the price as the UK pushes for net zero? Would you be a

pay in finance,

it seems the tide could be a turning. First, the watchdog announced that insurance companies

will finally be banned from penalising loyal customers with higher renewal costs. Now it seems that

Lee, loyalty.

Loyalty and insurance is something that we talk about a lot.

But what's it like in the world of savings?

Well, you're right, Georgie.

We do talk about insurance quite a lot and people get quite frustrated when they get their renewal policy, come through the post,

and they think, oh, hold on a minute, this seems higher than last year, and then they go

and investigate, or they don't, and have to do that whole haggle dance where they go and look

for a better deal and then tell their current insurer that they've got this better deal,

can they match it? That's been going on for a very long time.
