Our Expert Opinion on Loughborough Building Society One Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Loughborough Building Society's one-year fixed cash ISA pays 4.70%, which sits above the cash ISA market average but 0.55% behind the category leader at 5.25%. It beats August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.60%, so you are at least preserving real value. The minimum is £1,000 and there is no access until maturity, so only commit money you can leave untouched for the full year. If you want a slightly better rate, Shawbrook and Charter Savings Bank both offer 4.77% on a comparable one-year fixed cash ISA.
