Our Expert Opinion on Hinckley & Rugby Building Society 160 Day Notice

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Hinckley & Rugby's 160 Day Notice pays 4.00% AER (or 3.93% if you take interest monthly), which sits near the market average for notice accounts but is 0.40% behind the best notice rate available at 4.40%. At 4.00% you are at least 0.90% ahead of CPI inflation at 3.1%, so your money is growing in real terms. The obvious catch is the 160-day notice period, which is on the longer side, and I would still check United Trust Bank's 40 Day Notice at 4.10% if you want similar returns with far quicker access to your cash.
