1 Year Savings Bond – Issue 1

 

Our 1 Year Savings Bond is a savings account an individual can open with a single lump sum of between £5,000 and £85,000.

If you’re interested in opening a 1 Year Savings Bond Account, you should be aware and prepared that your savings will be locked in for the duration of your term. This means that you are unable to gain access to your money until the end of your bond term.

If you’re interested in a longer term, then we also offer a 2 Year Savings Bond.
