Good to Know

At the end of the 5 year term, you can invest in another account with the Society or withdraw your money. Prior to your account maturing, we will provide you with details of other accounts available. If you do not tell us what you would like to do with the funds, your funds will be transferred into the default maturity account that is available at the time of maturity, but you may not receive the same interest rate. No further deposits may be made during the term once the initial investment has been made.

Our Expert Opinion on Dudley Building Society Five Year Fixed Rate Bond Online

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

The headline 4.40% rate applies to balances from £1,000, but the tier structure here is genuinely odd - deposits of £50 or more but under £100 earn 5.75%, while £20,000 or more drops to just 3.00%, so where you land matters a lot. Against the fixed-rate market the 4.40% sits below the market average and 0.95% behind the best available at 5.35%, and alternatives like Chetwood Bank's five-year fix are paying 5.20%. The bigger catch is the usual one for this account type: your money is locked away with no access until maturity, which is a long commitment over five years.
