Savings accounts stink for interest rates, if its a nice sum of money your going to want to put it somewhere good like a mutual fund of some type, after all thats what the bank will do and then give you a cut of the intrest like 1/2 a percent or something sad like that. Savings accounts at a bank should only be used to keep some liquid cash handy for emergencies and nothing else.

Go to www.ft.com (The Financial Times website). They have a section called Your Money where you can compare the features of all the best savings accounts on the market, as well as credit cards, loans etc.
Hope this helps.

I personally use ING Direct, and have been for several years. They have a great secure online registration and login process. Their current APY is 4.40%
If you would like to find a list of all high interest savings accounts, loans or money markets etc, you can goto http://www.bankrate.com

Dont go to the big banks, look at smaller community banks or credit unions, they usually give better rates
