Bank Accounts Latest News Skipton Building Society launches new fixed bonds deal Skipton Building Society launches new fixed bonds deal
A lender has launched a new fixed bonds product.
Anyone thinking about taking out Skipton Building Society fixed rate bonds may be interested in a savings account now being offered by the financier.The lender has announced that it is to launch a new fixed bonds deal called the 1 Year E-Bond Issue 2 offering a rate of 3.15 per cent, a figure which may appeal to those wishing to make the most of their money following the recession.
This product has been designed to supersede the company's Limited Edition 1 Year E-Bond and, like its predecessor, gives savers the opportunity to store between £500 and £1,000,000 in the account.
Kris Brewster, head of products at Skipton, commented that this previous package had proved "incredibly popular", but now needs to be replaced due to its "limited tranche available" to consumers.
This comes after the financier last week announced the launch of a new range of ISAs, including one and five-year products.
