Our Expert Opinion on NS&I Guaranteed Income Bonds - 2 Year

NS&I's Guaranteed Income Bonds at 4.81% over two years will appeal most to savers who want the reassurance of a government-backed institution and a monthly income option, since interest can be paid out each month to a separate account, though at a slightly lower gross rate than the annual version. The minimum is £500 and you can deposit up to £1,000,000, so it suits larger balances as much as smaller ones. The main catch is that there is no access until maturity, so your money is fully locked away for the two years. If the rate matters more than the NS&I backing, Investec's 2-Year Fixed Rate Saver is currently sitting at 5.00%.
