Banks told to stop short-changing loyal savers..
Millions of savers who leave money in the same account for years should get a better deal under plans published by the City regulator.
Under the proposals, banks would have to set a single long-term interest rate for all easy access savings accounts to avoid the loyalty penalty.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said providers could still offer one-year introductory offers.
But the new single rate should avoid banks whittling down rates after that.
