🔔 An array of new best buy accounts

16th February 2018
Today, we have seen improved accounts from Leeds Building Society, Vanquis Bank, Paragon Bank, Investec and Aldermore all hit our best buy tables.
 
Leeds Building Society has launched a new and improved version of its Limited Issue Online Access ISA* paying a joint market-leading rate of 1.21% tax free/AER.
 
Unusually, this account has a maturity date of 30 April 2019, after which the funds will be transferred into a lower-paying account. So, at this point you may need to find a new home for your funds.
 
For more information and alternative options, please take a look at our Variable Rate ISA Table.
 
In the fixed rate bond market, we have seen impressive changes from Vanquis Bank, who are now sitting in the top spot for 3 Years (2.25% gross/AER)*, 4 Years (2.42% gross/AER)* and 5 Years (2.51% gross/AER)*.
 
In our 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond Best Buy Table, Paragon Bank has launched a competitive account, paying a rate of 2.06% gross/AER.
 
We have also seen a new 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond enter our table, this time from Investec, paying 1.90% gross/AER
 
Looking towards Fixed Rate ISAs, we have seen Aldermore launch a market-leading 1 Year Fixed Rate ISA paying 1.45% tax free/AER, which matches two other offerings.
