Skipton Building Society offers savers a ‘market leading’ 2.75% rate

The higher interest rate is offered as the account needs to be opened with a £10,000 initial deposit, however, the 2.75 percent rate is then fixed for the entire term. Moneyfacts.com places the account in first place on its Best 18 Month Year Fixed Rate ISAs. Skipton Building Society says that a saver who deposits £10,000 can earn £368 in interest over the term of the account.

The interest on the account is earned daily and is paid on the anniversary of the account opening.

Skipton Building Society states that savers only have until 22 September to grab this offer.

Until this date, people will deposit up to their total ISA allowance, which is £20,000 for the 2022/23 tax year.

They will also be able to request ISA transfers either from existing ISAs with Skipton or other ISA providers.

This account is available to UK residents aged 16 or over and can only be opened and managed online.
