Our Expert Opinion on Castle Trust Bank 2 year Fixed Rate e-Cash ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Castle Trust Bank's 2 year Fixed Rate e-Cash ISA pays 5.04%, which sits above the cash ISA market average but 0.08% behind the category leader at 5.12%. At 1.94% above August 2026 CPI of 3.1%, it does at least beat inflation in real terms. It suits savers who want a tax-free wrapper and are comfortable locking money away for two years, since there is no access until maturity and withdrawals before then will incur charges. If you want a marginally better rate, Close Brothers Savings offers a 2 year Fixed Rate Cash ISA at 5.05%.
