Fixed Rate Cash ISAs

Fixed rate cash ISAs allow you to lock your tax efficient cash ISA allowance away for a fixed term, at a fixed rate. Fixed rate cash ISAs vary in term from 6 months to 5 years, and generally, the longer you are willing to lock your cash away, the higher the rate will be.

Things to look out for when choosing a Fixed Rate Cash ISA

There is a wide range of fixed rate bond ISA account deals to choose from so we have highlighted some of the features to look out for:

  • Minimum ISA deposits - some fixed rate cash ISA accounts require a minimum level of funding
  • Additional bonus rates - Many fixed rate cash ISA accounts offer a "Special bonus" which is paid at the end of a set period. There are often conditions attached and savers should bear in mind that once this special bonus is paid ongoing interest paid may not be competitive.
  • Interest calculation method - some ISA providers will pay interest monthly and others quarterly or annually.

With interest rates at the time of writing at an all-time low the impact in real terms of inflation on your money is not to be underestimated in eroding the buying power of your hard earned cash. 

You can save up to £5,640 into a fixed rate cash ISA for the 2012/13 tax year. See a selection of fixed rate cash ISAs in the table below:
