Fixed Rate Bond
Lock in your rate for stable returns. With our Fixed Rate Bonds, you'll always know how much you will earn.
Key features
Fixed rate
The interest rate is fixed and will not change during the term.
Interest payments
Interest begins to add up once your cleared payment is received. Interest is not compounded and is paid once a year and/or at the end of the term into your chosen bank account.
Adding funds
You need to deposit at least £10,000 to open the account, and you can deposit up to £2 million. You can send the money in single or multiple transfers within 10 days of your application being accepted.
Withdrawals
You can't take money out or add more money during the term of the account.
Account holders
Once your application is accepted, you cannot change the ownership of the account, by adding or removing anyone.
Maturity
We'll contact you about 14 days before your Fixed Rate Bond ends to explain your options. If we don't hear from you, your balance will go into an Easy Access Maturity Account.
If you're looking to deposit over £1 million, get in touch with us so we can discuss your options.
