At certain times in your life, you may have a lump sum of money to put away.
It could be from an inheritance, a retirement fund or even from savings built up over the years.
With our Fixed Rate Saver for personal customers, if you have a lump sum of money you can put away for a fixed term, you can benefit from the security of a fixed rate of interest, regardless of money market fluctuations.
The minimum deposit to open is £5,000 and you can save up to £200,000 in the Fixed Rate Saver. You may open a maximum of four accounts.
Please note you must be a UK resident to open an account with us.

No withdrawals or further deposits until maturity
Following the initial lodgement, you cannot make any further deposits or withdrawals to your account until maturity. However at the end of the term, if you decide to reinvest, we will allow you to make an additional single lodgement of £1,000 or more during the five business days prior to maturity, providing the total balance does not exceed £200,000.
Withdrawals can only be made at maturity.Before opening this account, it is very important that you consider your short term needs and ensure that you have sufficient funds in short term accessible deposit products.
-
Options available at maturity
At account opening, and during the term of your account, you can give us maturity instructions to tell us what you would like to do with your funds when the account matures.
You can choose to reinvest, withdraw some of your funds and reinvest the balance, or withdraw all of your funds and close your account.It is very important to be aware that if you don't give us maturity instructions, your funds will be automatically reinvested for the same or a similar term at the applicable rate and you won’t be able to access your funds until the next maturity date.
We’ll send you a letter one month before your account matures to remind you what’s going to happen with your funds. If you want to give us a different maturity instruction, just contact your branch up until close of business on the Business Day before your Maturity date. You can also change your maturity instruction using our Online Banking service.
If your money is reinvested, and then you change your mind, you can cancel your account, by contacting us in writing within 14 days of the reinvestment. -
