Fixed rate bond
Get a guaranteed interest rate with a fixed rate bond.
You know where you are with a fixed rate bond. The interest rate you get for your savings won’t go up or down for the duration of your savings product, so you can get on with life and let the interest grow.
In return for a guaranteed rate of interest you’ll likely have little or no access to your funds before the set end date, so make sure you’re comfortable with locking your funds away for a period of time.

I always use Nacton Branch for any transactions. They are always most helpful and nothing is too much trouble, even when I need them to explain things they take the time to help me to understand. Lots of different staff but always lovely.
