Bank Accounts Latest News Northern Rock launches new online savings account Northern Rock launches new online savings account
Northern Rock has launched a new online savings account.
Anyone looking to compare savings on competitive deals in the UK following the global economic downturn may wish to consider a new offer from one lender.In news that may also be of interest to people with Northern Rock savings, the financier has decided to add a product to its range of online savings accounts with its e-saver (issue 4) package.
This dealfeatures a gross per annum interest rate of three per cent on deposits worth between £10,000 and £100,000, as well as featuring a bonus of two per cent for the first 12 months after it is opened.
In order to give customers more flexibility, Northern Rock allows savers to choose whether their interest is paid annually or monthly and the product is intended to complement its existing online account, the e-saver (Issue 3), which pays a flat gross rate of 2.5 per cent.
Meanwhile, NatWest and its parent company the Royal Bank of Scotland recently introduced a new range of fixed rate bonds.
