Fixed Rate Bond
Fixed Rate Bonds generally offer a higher rate of interest for money that you can afford to put away for a year or more. The rate of interest is fixed for the full term of the bond, but you need to ensure you won't need access to your savings as you won't be able to make a withdrawal until the end of the fixed period.
Bonds are limited edition accounts which may be withdrawn from sale at any time without notice, so if you see one you like, don’t wait too long to apply as there are no guarantees it will still be available the next time you look. You can apply for and manage your bond online.
To make sure it's the right account for you, please read through the Key product details and the Is it for me? sections, together with the General Savings Conditions and the Key Features & Summary Box document which includes the specific conditions for the account.
Things you need to know about our Fixed Rate Bonds are:
- you'll earn a fixed rate of interest for a fixed period of time
- you can make a deposit into an online account within 14 days after which no further deposits can be made
- you can deposit any amount between £5,000 and £1,000,000
- we calculate interest daily and can pay it to you either monthly or annually
- you cannot make withdrawals or close the account during the fixed rate period
- all payments to and from your Charter Savings Bank account must be from the same UK bank or building society Nominated account you provide when applying for the account
This might be the right type of account for you if you:
- want to fix the interest rate your savings earn for a fixed period of time
- know you won't need access to your savings during the fixed period
- want an account you can open and manage online
