Hop along to Skipton for a great Easter bond

Savers should forget chocolate eggs this Easter and instead be tempted by the new limited edition bond from Skipton Building Society, with an interest rate of 6.50%. The 18-month Easter Bond will be available from today but will disappear as soon as maximum funds have been received.

Steve Aldous, general manager, said, “At Skipton, we’ve made a name for ourselves for offering top rates and our Easter Bond is no exception – but savers should hurry, because the limited edition and the great rate mean they could be more elusive than a sighting of the Easter Bunny.”
