Our Expert Opinion on Market Harborough BS Fixed Term Bond Monthly

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Market Harborough BS is paying 4.50% on this bond, which matures 02.10.2028, with interest paid monthly - useful if you want a regular income stream. That said, 4.50% sits below the market average for fixed-rate bonds, and the best rate in that category is 5.37%, leaving this 0.87% behind. It does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.40%, so your money grows in real terms. You need at least £5,000 to open it, and there is no access until maturity, so only commit funds you will not need.
