Yorkshire launches two new savings bonds

Yorkshire Building Society has launched two new savings products offering members a competitive return on their savings.

The Yorkshire 18 month bond offers 3.15% gross/AER, while a second one year bond offers 3.00% gross/AER.

Both accounts are available to new and existing customers and can be opened with as little as £1,000.

Commenting on the new products Mike Helliwell, Product Manager from Yorkshire Building Society said; "With the market and swap rates changing so rapidly we are trying to ensure that we can provide the best savings rates for our customers across our channels and brands. These two new bonds from the Yorkshire give customers the choice of whether they want to invest for either one year or 18 months, something which will be helpful during this current climate."

The new 18 month product will be available in branch and via our telephone channel while the one year bond will be available through our internet channel by visiting ybs.co.uk

The bonds will be available from Thursday 18th August 2011.
