Skipton Building Society launches new ISAs

Skipton Building Society launches new ISAs

A financier has introduced a new range of ISAs.

Anyone currently benefiting from a Skipton Building Society fixed rate bonds product might be interested to note that the lender has now launched a new range of ISAs.

In news which may also be of note to those seeking a cash ISA following the recession, the financier has introduced several new fixed rate packages with terms ranging from one to five years.

For instance, customers can now take out a one-year deal fixed until November 29th 2011, which has an annual equivalent rate (AER) of 2.95 per cent on deposits between £50 and £49,999.

Alternatively, individuals may wish to opt for a five-year fixed rate product with an attached AER of 3.90 per cent.

Kris Brewster, head of products at Skipton Building Society, commented that the lender is determined to "encourage more people to maximise their tax-free savings allowances".

This comes after research was published recently by the financier which stated that saving as little as £6.75 weekly can lead to long-term financial happiness.
