Our Expert Opinion on Paragon Bank 5 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Paragon Bank's 5 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA pays 4.35%, which beats August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.25%, so your money does grow in real terms, but the rate sits below the Cash ISA market average and is 0.77% behind the category leader at 5.12%. This account suits someone who wants ISA tax protection, accepts locking money away for five years, and has at least £500 to open. The obvious catch is that five-year commitment: if rates rise or you need access, you are stuck.
