Our Expert Opinion on Paragon Bank 2 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Paragon's 2 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA pays 4.20%, which beats August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.10%, so your money does grow in real terms, but the rate sits below the Cash ISA market average and 0.92% behind the category leader at 5.12%. The £500 minimum is low and transfers in are accepted, which suits savers consolidating old ISAs. The real catch is the two-year lock-in; if you want flexibility, Atom Bank's Easy Access Cash ISA currently offers 4.25% with no fixed term.
