Our Expert Opinion on Halifax Fixed Saver 1 Year

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Halifax's Fixed Saver 1 Year pays 4.00%, which is below the market average for fixed-rate accounts and sits 1.35% behind the category leader at 5.35%, so you are leaving meaningful money on the table if you shop around. The rate does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 0.90%, which at least preserves real value. The main catch is that your money is completely locked away for the full year with no access until maturity, so only commit funds you genuinely will not need. With a £500 minimum, alternatives like OakNorth Bank's Fixed Term 12 Months at 4.96% are worth a look first.
