Savings Champion Rate Alert

Tuesday 3rd October 2017

  

 

Today, Kent Reliance has increased rates on a number of accounts (which also benefited existing account holders) and launched a new version of its 60 day notice account.

Subsequently, Kent Reliance now leads the way in both our easy access and 1 year fixed rate bond best buy tables.

The provider is offering the market-leading rates of 1.27% gross/AER on its easy access account - issue 21 and 1.85% gross/AER on its 1 year fixed rate bond - issue 49.

Seemingly not content with just the two best buy positions, the provider has also entered our notice account best buy table with the new version of its 60 day notice account, paying 1.35% gross/AER.

For other options across a range of savings accounts, please refer to our best buy tables or give us a call on 0800 321 3581, we'd love to hear from you.
