Fixed rate bonds

If you’re looking to invest a lump sum, a fixed rate bond could be perfect. It pays a guaranteed amount of interest for a set length of time. You probably won’t be allowed to access your savings during the fixed term, so invest money you can afford to lock away.

 

You can open the accounts below through MoneySuperMarket. We can show you all the accounts on the market, but we can only help you to open some of them.

If you’re looking to invest a lump sum, a fixed rate bond could be perfect. It pays a guaranteed amount of interest for a set length of time. You probably won’t be allowed to access your savings during the fixed term, so invest money you can afford to lock away.

These are the best accounts available to open through MoneySuperMarket. We can show you all the accounts on the market, but we can only help you to open some of them.

What are fixed rate bonds?

Fixed rate bonds pay a set rate of interest, for a certain time, on money you can afford not to access. Here are the main points you need to know:

  • They can pay higher interest rates than easy access or notice accounts.
  • Ensure you can commit your money for the full term.
  • You may only be able to make a single deposit into your bond.

Thanks to the introduction of the new Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) in April 2016, banks and building societies now pay interest on all savings accounts gross, or before any tax is deducted. The PSA means that basic-rate taxpayers can earn £1,000 of savings interest without the taxman taking a slice, and higher rate taxpayers can earn £500. Additional rate taxpayers are not eligible for a PSA. If the interest you earn exceeds these limits, any tax you owe will usually be collected via the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system or via your self-assessment tax return.

What types of fixed rate bonds are available?

Most banks and building societies offer fixed rate bonds lasting for anything from six months to five years.

You will need to invest a lump sum to benefit, as you cannot generally add to your initial deposit as you might with an easy access account.

To qualify for some of the most competitive accounts, you may need a large amount. Some have minimum deposits of £10,000 or even £25,000.

However, with more than 100 on the market most of the time, you should be able to find good deals that require as little as £1,000.

What are the advantages of fixed rate bonds?

As mentioned above, fixed rate bonds usually pay higher interest rates than easy access savings accounts.

If you have some cash that you do not need access to for say two or three years, you can boost your returns by opting for a fixed rate account. This is particularly true should interest rates fall during the term.

But beware: you may find yourself locked into an uncompetitive rate should rates start to rise while your money is locked away in a fixed rate bond.

This is why shorter-term fixed rate bonds tend to be more popular, despite those lasting longer offering superior rates of return.

Either way, the simplicity of these products makes them a straightforward way to save – particularly if you can afford to keep some rainy day savings in an easy access account.

If you lack discipline, fixed rate bonds are also a good way of ensuring that you leave your nest egg untouched for a certain length of time.

And as long as the bank or building society offering the fixed rate bond is authorised by the Financial Services Authority, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme will cover deposits of up to £85,000 (as of 30 January, 2017). This amount applies per individual per institution, not per account, so watch out if you have two accounts with a single bank that have a combined balance above £85,000, as not all of your money will be protected. If you have a joint account, both accountholders have £85,000 of protection, giving a total of £170,000.
