Skipton Building Society adds to fixed bonds range

Skipton Building Society adds to fixed bonds range

A lender has introduced a new fixed bonds package.

People with Skipton Building Society fixed rate bonds may be interested in taking advantage of the offer of a new savings account from the lender.

As of today (November 19th 2010), the financier has added to its range of fixed bonds products with a new one-year e-bond, which offers an annual equivalent rate of 3.05 per cent and allows investments between £500 and £1 million.

This package is designed to complement the building society's existing offers, including its Telephone Saver and an array of other deals, many of which have been created in the aftermath of the global economic downturn.

Louise Penfield, senior product manager for savings at the lender, commented that this represents the third such bond product it has introduced over the course of the last few weeks.

This comes after Leeds Building Society recently launched a Fixed Rate Postal Bond package, which offers a return of up to 2.52 per cent to investors.

    It sounds very promising.

    Not promising at all! Tried to open online account. Computer says NO to register as i have been identified. Go to log in... Computer says NO so how the hell can you apply online! I've also tried calling and that service is equally as bad.
    Never mind, Skipton is NOT for me or anyone else with any common sense. I'm taking my £25,000 to santander instead.
