Our Expert Opinion on Monmouthshire Building Society 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Monmouthshire Building Society's 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond pays 4.55%, which sits below the market average for fixed-rate accounts and is 0.82% behind the current best in that category at 5.37%. It does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.45%, so your money grows in real terms, but if you are rate-hunting you could do better with Shawbrook's 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond at 4.85% or Sensible Savings' 2 Year Fixed Rate Bonds at 4.90%. The key catch is that access is completely locked until maturity, so only commit funds you will not need for two years.
