More competitive Fixed Rate ISA choice from Leeds Building Society
Leeds Building Society has launched two new competitive Fixed Rate cash ISAs to add to its savings portfolio.
These are:
- One year Fixed Rate cash ISA at 1.75% tax-free† p.a./AER* (fixed), maturing on 31st March 2015
- Two year Fixed Rate cash ISA at 2% tax-free† p.a./AER* (fixed), maturing on 31st March 2016
Each can be opened with a minimum balance of £1 and savers can invest up to the current annual ISA allowance of £5,760 for the 2013/14 financial year, as well as transfers in from previous years’ ISA funds.
“These latest Fixed Rate ISAs add to our range of competitive tax-free savings products and offer more choice to savers looking for a shorter-term home for their money,” said Kim Rebecchi, Leeds Building Society Sales & Marketing Director.
“In common with other ISAs in our portfolio - including our market-leading five year Fixed Rate ISA - savers have the benefit of access of up to 25% of their capital investment during the term, without notice or penalty.”
Leeds Building Society’s five year Fixed Rate ISA offers longer-term savers a best buy return of 3.05% tax-free† p.a./AER* (fixed).
