These are structured deposit plans and are capital protected. There is a risk that the company backing the plans or any company associated with the plans may be unable to repay your initial investment and any returns stated. In this event you may be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) , depending on your individual circumstances. In addition, you may not get back the full amount of your initial investment if the plans are not held for the full term.

If you are at all unsure of the suitability of these types of investments, both in respect of their objectives and risk profiles, you should seek independent financial advice.

Lloyds TSB fixed rate bonds may offer a number of benefits, such as:

  • Fixed interest rates for a fixed term
  • Guaranteed returns on your investment
  • A choice of term, from 6 months, 1, 2 or 3 year fixed terms
  • Monthly or annual interest, depending on your needs

With fixed rate bonds, no additional deposits or withdrawals are allowed, so it is important to ensure you don’t have any plans for the money for the term of a Lloyds fixed rate bond or any other fixed rate bond you choose.
