Nationwide Fixed Rate Bond

If you are looking for a better rate of return from your savings than a saving account, you could try one of the Nationwide fixed rate bonds.

Terms can range from 6 months to 3 years, depending on how long you want to lock your cash away for, and with tiered interest rates, the more you save, the more you earn.

Nationwide fixed rate bonds features

Minimum opening deposit of £1
Choice of terms from 6 months to 3 years
Open several bonds as long as the total does not exceed £5 million
Choice of monthly or annual interest payments
Fixed rate of payment
Option to have a joint account
To open a Nationwide fixed rate bond you need to be at least 7 years old

As opening a nationwide fixed rate bond would require you to lock away your savings for a set period of time before you do so you might want to consider alternative savings options as well.
