Our Expert Opinion on Metro Bank Fixed Term Savings 3 Month

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Metro Bank's 3 Month Fixed Term Savings pays 2.02%, which sits below the market average for fixed-rate accounts and 3.33% behind the category leader at 5.35%. At that rate you are also 1.08% below CPI inflation of 3.1% (Aug 2026), so your money loses real value over the term. The minimum is a modest £500, but the hard catch is that once the 14-day cooling-off period closes, you cannot access your money at all until maturity. If you want a short fix, Kent Reliance's 6 Month Fixed Rate Bond at 4.41% is worth a look instead.
