Summary Box

Account name

2 Year Fixed Rate Bond (31.12.2026)

What is the interest rate?

4.10% Gross*/AER**

Interest is added to the account annually on 31 December or can be paid into another Suffolk Building Society account or direct to your bank account on an annual or monthly basis. Interest paid monthly cannot be added to the account.

Can the Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate is fixed until the maturity date on 31 December 2026.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

If you were to open this account with £1,000 and no further deposits or withdrawals were made, you would earn £41 interest each year. If you chose to have interest compounded, this would result in a total balance of £1,083.68. This is due to earning interest on your interest each year. Please note, this is an illustration only and does not reflect your specific circumstances.
