Norwich & Peterborough Building Society has announced an increase in savings interest rates on its fixed-rate savings bonds and individual savings accounts (Isas).
The savings provider has increased the savings interest rate on both its one-year savings bond and the two-year deal to offer an annual equivalent rate (AER) of the 4.75 per cent.
"Our research shows that 4.75 per cent is probably the best rate available for a one- or two-year fixed-rate bond on the high street," comments the savings provider's Gary Lacey, the group product manager.
What is more, a savings interest rate increase of 4.55 per cent AER now applies to the society's fixed-rate mini cash Isa and Tessa-only Isa.
In order to open a fixed-rate savings bond at the building society customers are required to make an initial investment of at least £1,000.
Savings interest on the one-year savings bond can be taken every month or upon maturity of the savings bond.
At the end of the fixed-rate period, the balance of the savings bond will be transferred to the savings provider's Elite Interest savings account.
