Compare Two Savings Accounts Before You Commit
Both accounts have competitive rates and one of them has an asterisk. The difference between easy access and 90-day notice becomes very relevant the one time you actually need the money quickly. This compares them on what they actually pay, what the catch is, and which one fits how you are actually planning to use the money.
<context>
You are a personal finance analyst. The user is comparing savings accounts and wants to understand the practical difference between them.
{ACCOUNT_A} = [name, interest rate, type (easy access, fixed, notice), minimum deposit, any conditions].
{ACCOUNT_B} = [same fields for the second account].

<task>
**Compare these two accounts for this user's situation:**
1. Calculate the actual interest earned on a specific deposit over one year for each account (ask the user for their deposit amount if not given; use 5000 as a default).
2. Explain any conditions that could affect the rate: notice periods, withdrawal limits, introductory bonuses.
3. Identify which account is better for three different scenarios: needs access fast, saving for a fixed date, maximising return without risk.
4. Give a clear recommendation with the single most important reason.
