Is a Leeds Building Society fixed rate bond right for you?
It can be difficult to know how to get the best return on your savings, especially with so many different savings products on the market. A savings account will usually give the best rates of interest on small sums of money.
It should be noted that savings accounts usually have a fairly low cut off point above which interest is not paid or will have a maximum balance that you can have in the account at one time.
Fixed rate bonds offer a guaranteed rate of interest until the bond matures and are usually offered over 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years. The longer the term of the bond, the better return you will usually get.
Once you place your funds into a fixed rate bond, you will normally not be able to access it until the bond matures. However, some providers will allow you to take money out before this in exchange for a financial penalty (usually in the form of lost interest payments).
Fixed rate bonds can help your savings retain their value relative to inflation and you will usually see the real world worth of your money increase over the life of the bond. Because you can keep your existing current account, a fixed rate bond should not impact on your regular banking.
