Scarborough launches Click and Save 2

Scarborough Building Society has built on the success of its popular Click and Save account by launching a second issue paying an even higher rate of interest.

Offering a market leading 5.70% on balances of £1,000-plus, the easy access account is available from this week.

Click and Save 2 is available for a limited period and applying couldn’t be simpler.

Customers wishing to take advantage of its outstanding features can complete an online application form via the Society’s website at scarboroughbs.co.uk, and then print and post it off with a cheque for their opening deposit. After opening, customers can operate the account by using Scarborough’s efficient telephone and postal service.

And, what’s more, the new account offers protection against current interest rate uncertainties, by guaranteeing this great rate until 31 May, 2008.

Head of Group Marketing, Tony Burdin, said: ‘We were overwhelmed with demand for the first issue of this account, which sold out very quickly.

‘It’s clear that there is a continued need for this kind of account, and therefore we were keen not to leave potential savers wanting, and have designed this second issue in response.

‘This latest limited issue account is designed to be simple and rewarding. By giving customers the self-service option for opening a Click and Save Issue 2, we are continuing to minimise administration and, therefore, making the application process more convenient for customers.

‘This means we can pass on our savings to them in the form of a great rate, coupled with the added benefit of easy access to their cash with no penalties.

‘This is all part of Scarborough’s promise to offer straightforward, long term good value, backed by excellent customer service.’
