The final day of the week came with a bang, as Vanquis Bank and United Trust Bank launched market-leading fixed rate bonds and Bank of Cyprus UK launched a new version of its Online Easy Access Account.

Vanquis Bank has returned to the top spot in our five year fixed rate bond table, paying 2.70% gross/AER*.

This account now pays the highest interest rate we have seen on a five year fixed rate bond for nearly two years.

In the shorter one year table, we have another new market-leading rate launched today.

United Trust Bank's new one year bond pays 1.90% gross/AER, claiming the leading position.

Meanwhile, Bank of Cyprus UK’s latest version of its Online Easy Access Account* holds joint-second position in our easy access best buy table with Shawbrook Bank, both paying 1.25% gross/AER.

Although both accounts are available to open online, a key difference to be aware of is the Bank of Cyprus UK account includes a bonus for the first 12 months, after which, the rate will drop significantly.

In contrast, both accounts that offer the leading rate of 1.30% gross/AER (RCI Bank*  and Kent Reliance), do not include an introductory bonus.

For further information and other leading rates currently available, please refer to our best buy tables.
