Close Brothers Savings has launched a new version of its 5 year fixed rate bond.

The provider's latest version pays 2.50% gross/AER, claiming second position in our table, just behind the market-leading Vanquis Bank*.

Although not offering the very best rate, applications for the Close Brothers Savings account are conducted via the post - unlike many other top rates that are online only - which could prove popular for some savers.

Elsewhere, Masthaven Bank has improved rates across its range of fixed rate bonds, including three and four year accounts, which both now feature in our best buy tables.

The provider's new three year bond pays 2.21% gross/AER* and claims second position, losing out only to Vanquis Bank - again with the market-leading rate - 2.25% gross/AER*.

While the four year account from Masthaven Bank pays 2.26% gross/AER*, claiming third spot.

Our Best Buy Tables are based on whole of market research, independent and have no commercial bias, ensuring that you can rely on them to make an informed decision. Alternatively, please call us on 0800 011 9705 to discuss your savings with one of our expert advisers.

†High interest current accounts often have a number of conditions attached to qualify for the headline rate. Please ensure you carefully read the terms and conditions before proceeding. Many of these current accounts do not require customers to switch their main account.

*We are occasionally paid by some providers if you click through from our Best Buy Tables and open a savings or current account with them. We will never accept a payment that compromises in any way our independent, whole of market approach to providing information on savings products. For clarity we will indicate those companies who remunerate us with an asterisk (*).

^Deposits held with RCI Bank are covered up to the value of €100,000 by the FGDR, which is the French equivalent of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). For more information on this, please call one of our advisers.
