Compare Aldermore savings accounts
Aldermore is a retail bank that specialises in savings and lending for SMEs and individuals. The company has a strong focus on providing a fast, smooth service to their customers. They offer a variety of savings accounts to suit different types of savers and their needs.
Fixed Rate Accounts
Commonly known as “fixed rate bonds”, this type of account offers a guaranteed rate of interest for the life of the bond in exchange for not being able to access your money during this period.
Aldermore offer fixed rate accounts for periods of 1-5 years with a minimum deposit of just £1,000. The longer the term of the bond, the better interest rate you will be offered and you can take your interest monthly, annually or when the bond matures.
Easy Access Savings Accounts
Aldermore’s easy access account allows you to deposit and withdraw money whenever you like with no fees or penalties. You can start an account with a minimum deposit of £1,000 and make as many withdrawals as you like.
An easy access account lets you earn interest while still giving you instant access to your money when necessary. Aldermore allows you to manage your account online, by phone or by post.
Notice Savings Accounts
Similar to its easy access accounts, Aldermore’s notice accounts can be opened with just £1,000 and allow you to add or withdraw money as often as you like. The difference is that you have to give 30 days’ notice before making a withdrawal, but in exchange you will get a slightly higher interest rate than for an easy access account.
ISAs
ISAs allow UK taxpayers to earn interest on a certain amount of their savings without paying tax on the proceeds. The amount of tax-free interest you can earn is decided by the government and changes over time. For the 2017/18 tax year the amount is £20,000.
Aldermore currently offer three types of ISAs – Fixed Rate Cash ISAs, Notice Cash ISAs and an Easy Access Help to Buy ISA. These give different interest rates and conditions on adding and withdrawing funds. The Easy Access Help to Buy ISA also provides a bonus when used towards purchasing a property if you are a first time buyer.
ISAs do not tend to offer the best interest rates, so you need to consider whether the amount you are likely to save in tax will be more than the extra interest you could earn from a higher paying account.
