Leeds Building Society has launched a new fixed-rate postal investment bond, which guarantees a six per cent return until December 31st 2006.
At the end of this period, the rate will revert to 5.2 per cent until March 31st 2008, which the society claims is still "highly competitive".
Customers are also able to access 25 per cent of their initial investment at any time, without notice or penalty.
Stuart Fearn, product development manager at Leeds, said, "We try to ensure that customers receive a very competitive return and the peace of mind provided by allowing access to some of the funds, without notice or penalty.
"The product is also available to the smaller investor, with a minimum operating balance of only £100 and there is a monthly interest option for people who require an income."
Leeds Building Society offers a wide range of investments and savings accounts to its members, including online accounts, easy access accounts, affinity accounts, notice accounts and bonds, tax-free accounts and postal accounts.
