Our Fixed Rate Bond Issue 11 – 2 Year Bond is designed for those who can afford to put £5,000 or more to one side for two years, in return for a higher rate of interest. It’s important to remember, though, that you will not be able to access your funds during the two years. This is a limited edition product and the amount we can have in this type of account at a given time is capped. This means that we might have to withdraw this edition of the Fixed Rate Bond at short notice, so it is important to let us know if you would like to reserve yourself an account, by contacting us as outlined below.
