Abbey launches new savings bonds

Abbey Savings launches its latest tranche of fixed-term savings accounts for customers looking for a guaranteed return on an amount of money they can lock away for a set time.

50+ Bond

For people over 50 years old and who may be looking for a regular income from their savings, Abbey offers the 50+ Bond with a fixed term of three years and interest guaranteed.

Children’s Saving Bond

For people looking to save for a child’s future, Abbey offers a Children’s Savings Bond, available to savers under 18 offering a guaranteed fixed rate over a term of four years.

Customers can apply for the bonds either by visiting their local branch or telephoning the customer sales line on 0800 234 6065. All bonds are on offer until 8 January 2008 (subject to availability).

Reza Attar-Zadeh, Director of Savings and Investments at Abbey, said “Our savings bond range has proved highly popular in 2007 and we remain committed to offering good rates for our customers. We expect the bonds available in this launch to appeal to both those saving for children or looking for regular interest payments.”
