Skipton launches new savings account

Tue, 17 Jun 2008

Skipton Building Society has launched a range of new savings accounts which offer interest rates of up to 6.7 per cent.

The savings bonds are fixed from one to three years with the minimum deposit being £500.

Anyone opting for the two or three-year fixed savings bonds will receive an interest rate of 6.7 per cent, while the one year account has a rate of 6.5 per cent.

Those who opt to have their interest paid monthly will benefit from a slightly lower rate on their savings account .

Steve Aldous, general manager at Skipton, said: "Now is the time for savers to be locking away their cash - and with so many accounts out there they're spoilt for choice."

Anyone who opts for Skipton's new savings accounts will be guaranteed "high returns", he added.

Yesterday, Neil Cameron, savings manager at Sainsbury's Finance, advised people to keep an eye on the interest rate offered by their savings account to make sure they have the best possible deal.
