Summary

3 Year Fixed Rate Bond (25.Jun.26)

5.05% AER*

Interest is calculated daily and applied on 31 December and on maturity. You can choose to have your interest added to your Fixed Rate Bond or paid away to your Nominated Account.

No, the interest rate is fixed. This means that the rate of interest payable on your account will remain the same from the time you open your account until the end of the fixed rate period.

Your estimated balance would be £1,159.28 based on a deposit of £1,000 after 36 months.

This is for illustrative purposes only, does not take into account individual circumstances and makes the following assumptions:

  • Your initial deposit is paid into the Bond when it is opened
  • No further deposits are made
  • Interest is added to your Bond

To open an account you must:

  • Be 18 or over
  • Reside in the UK
  • Have a minimum deposit of £1,000

The minimum operating balance for personal accounts is £1,000, and the maximum aggregate balance across all accounts held is £1,000,000.

How to open the account and pay in:

  • You must apply for the product online via the application link
  • Deposits into the Bond must be from your Nominated Account by electronic payment; cheques are not accepted
  • If we cannot electronically verify that funds have been sent from an account in your name, they will be returned
  • Each deposit into the account must be a minimum of £1,000
  • This account is only available to personal customers

How to manage the account:

Accounts are managed by Internet Banking or by telephone on 0345 111 7092.

Statements are provided via Internet Banking, with the ability to download and print or the option to change to paper if required.
