Fixed rate bonds.
Fixed rate bond
Put away for a set amount of time with a fixed rate bond.
You know where you are with a fixed rate bond. The interest rate you get for your savings won’t go up or down for the duration of your savings product, so you can get on with life and let the interest grow.
In return for a fixed rate of interest you’ll likely have little or no access to your funds before the set end date, so make sure you’re comfortable with locking your funds away for a period of time.

Have been meaning to open a Savings Account for some time. We have no banks left in town but we have the convenience of the Suffolk Building Society here. Staff were very helpful in opening the account and always extremely pleasant when I go in to put some money in my account. Thank you.

Always like to support a small local building society over the big banks. The service is always excellent, the staff knowledgeable about their products and they offer a good range of competitive accounts. Our local branch is Sudbury and we have always found the staff friendly and efficient.
