Savings Champion Rate Alert

Thursday 18th May 2017

The competition in the easy access best buy table continues to heat up, with another provider coming onto the stage. In addition to this, the battle for the crown in the fixed rate bond market continues, whilst an interesting new variable rate cash ISA joins our table. 

Shawbrook Bank has added further fuel to the fire in our Easy Access Best Buy Table, launching its Easy Access - Issue 9 paying 1.05% gross/AER. Not conforming with a common trend within the easy access market, this account is free from any introductory bonus or withdrawal restrictions.

Charter Savings Bank has launched a new version of its 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond, with a market-leading rate of 1.76% gross/AER, also offering the option of monthly interest payments if required.

Finally, Kingdom Bank has launched its new 1 Year Base Rate Plus Cash ISA, paying 1.20% tax free/AER. Although now leading the 1 year fixed term table, it is a variable rate, that is guaranteed to be 0.95% above the Bank of England base rate for the 12 month term.

For more information on these accounts and other options available, please refer to our Best Buy Tables.

As always, if you would like any help with your savings or would like to discuss other available options, please call us on 0800 321 3581, we’d love to hear from you.
