Our Expert Opinion on Monmouthshire Building Society 5 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Monmouthshire Building Society's 5 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA pays 4.55%, which sits near the market average for cash ISAs but is 0.70% behind the category leader at 5.25%, so it is not the sharpest option for a five-year lock-in. It does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.45%, which matters for savers focused on real returns. The hard catch is the early exit penalty of 450 days' loss of interest, and deposits are capped at £20,000. Hampshire Trust Bank's 5 Year Online ISA Fixed Saver at 4.95% is worth a look.
