View our fixed rate accountsKnow exactly how much interest you'll earn
The longer you can put your money away for, usually the better your interest rate will be.
Our Fixed Rate accounts pay a fixed rate of interest for a set period of time (usually one to five years), making them ideal for lump sum deposits. In our range we offer Fixed Rate Cash ISAs, Fixed Rate Bonds and a Regular E-Saver account.
What's the difference?
If you're happy putting your money away for at least a year for a definite return, you can save tax-free up to your annual ISA allowance, currently £20,000, with our Fixed Rate Cash ISAs. You're able to access your money during the fixed rate period subject to a charge equivalent to a loss of interest.
If you've already taken advantage of your annual ISA allowance, or simply prefer to opt for a Fixed Rate Bond, this range similarly offers a definite return on your savings.
Want something fixed yet flexible? Our Regular E-Saver offers a fixed rate of interest whilst letting you save monthly (up to £250) and withdraw from your account whenever you like.

Before your fixed rate period ends, we’ll contact you to let you know what your options are. You will then be able to tell us what you’d like to do when the account matures. If you decide to not do anything, your account will become a Variable Rate account.
Remember, if you open a Fixed Rate Bond or Cash ISA online, we'll ask you to sign in to our Online Service before maturity to tell us what you'd like to do. If you're a Regular Saver customer, you don't need to do anything, your account will become a variable rate account on maturity.
