The best rate in the fixed rate savings chart overall came from Gatehouse Bank, with its Fixed Term Green Saver paying an expected profit rate of 1.40% gross on anniversary on a five-year term. This account requires a £1,000 minimum deposit to open. It has the incentive of Gatehouse Bank planting a tree in a UK woodland when the account is opened and funded. It must be opened and managed online.
New to the top of the three year fixed rate bond chart this week was Zopa’s 3 Year Fixed Term Savings account, which pays 0.99% gross monthly, although savers should note that interest is only available on maturity. To open this account, a £1,000 minimum deposit is needed. It must be opened online and can then be managed online and via mobile app.
