NatWest and RBS offer new fixed bonds deals

NatWest and RBS are to launch a new rage of fixed bonds packages.

Anyone searching for competitive fixed rate bonds deals in the near future might be interested in a range of new products being launched by one financier tomorrow (December 11th 2010).

In news which may also be of note to those with a NatWest bank account, the lender and parent company the Royal Bank of Scotland are to create several fixed bonds packages, which will be available with a minimum deposit of £5,000 and will begin on January 24th next year.

For example, the financier is offering both one and two-year fixed rate bonds, which have annual equivalent rates of 2.75 per cent and 3.5 per cent respectively.

Meanwhile, for savers looking for a longer-term deal, the three-year stepped rate bond, which begins at two per cent and progresses up to six per cent over its duration, could be a better option.

This comes after the Yorkshire Building Society introduced a new three-year fixed rate bonds package earlier this week.
