Know exactly what to expect from your money

Why choose a Fixed Rate Savings Account?

  • earn 4.30% AER/Gross for up to 13 months

  • save a one-off lump sum of between £2,000 and £1 million
  • open multiple Fixed Rate Savings Accounts
  • no partial withdrawals or additional deposits allowed*

*You'll be charged £100 if you take your money out before the end of the fixed term and depending on when you do this, you could get back less than originally paid in. New Fixed Rate Savings Accounts are released every month and interest rates may vary between them.

Put a lump sum away for a fixed term at a fixed rate, and you'll receive 4.30% AER/Gross between £2,000 and £1 million. Deposits mature on 27 March 2025.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. This shows you what the gross rate would be if interest were paid and compounded each year.

Gross is the rate of interest paid before any tax (where applicable) has been deducted.

UK residents only.
