this is how to save

Looking for a great way to grow your savings with confidence? When you open a Fixed Term Savings Account, you lock away your money for a set period—usually between one to five years—and in return, you earn a fixed interest rate. That means no surprises or changes, even if market rates fluctuate. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a stable and predictable way to save, and it can help you stay disciplined since the funds are inaccessible until the term ends. Plus, knowing exactly how much you’ll earn makes it easier to plan for future goals.

With our Fixed Term Deposit Savings Accounts, watch your money grow the longer you leave it.

FAQs

A fixed term savings account helps you grow your money with a higher interest rate, as long as you’re happy to lock it away for a set period.

Because you’re committing to leave your money untouched, the bank rewards you with a better rate. It’s a win-win for long-term savers.

From one to five years, there are a number of Fixed Term Deposits available. For those with more spare cash or with their outgoings covered, longer term deposits often offer higher interest rates.

All UK residents aged 18 years and over, who have a UK mobile phone, email address and a UK bank account are eligible. We only offer sole accounts, so for example, you won’t be able to open a joint account with a family member or friend.

For all Fixed Term Savings Accounts, interest is calculated daily, paid annually and at maturity (the date your fixed term ends) into your Fixed Term Savings Account.

Because the rate is locked in from the start, you’ll know exactly how much you’ll earn by the end—making it a reliable way to grow your savings.

Yes, you’ll receive an annual statement and tax certificate. You’ll be able to view, download or print from Internet Banking or the Mobile Banking App.

We’re a fully regulated UK bank so you can rest easy knowing that your eligible deposits are protected, up to £120,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme.  You can learn more on our FSCS information page.

You’ll only be able to access the funds once your fixed-term deposit reaches maturity.

You have to fund your account 14 days from the start of the application. If you haven’t funded your account within those 14-days, we’ll close your account for you.

If you’ve funded the account but changed your mind within the 14-day cooling-off period, you have a couple of options:

Either simply go into your profile in Internet Banking or on the Mobile App and withdraw the money. Or, complete the contact us form and we’ll help move things along.
