Leeds unveils 1 year fixed rate savings bond at 3.35%

Leeds Building Society has unveiled a 1 year fixed rate bond, which combines a high guaranteed return of 3.35% gross p.a./ AER with unlimited access to 25% of the funds, without notice or penalty, at any time.

The account can be opened through branches, by post and online.

Kim Rebecchi, Leeds Building Society's Sales and Marketing Director said, "Our 1 year fixed rate bond offers an excellent guaranteed return, combined with the flexibility of unlimited access to 25% of the funds. Furthermore, it can be opened with only £100.

"Other fixed rate bonds currently available on the market require customers to lock away all, or the large majority of, their funds. We believe our new bond provides the best of both worlds and expect this combination of a high fixed rate and access to prove popular.

"The maximum investment is £5,000 (£10,000 for joint accounts) of new money to the Society, and the account is available through branches, by post and online."
