Our Expert Opinion on Royal Bank of Scotland Fixed Term Savings 1 Year

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Royal Bank of Scotland's Fixed Term Savings pays 4.11% for balances up to £99,999, rising to 4.20% if you have £100,000 or more, and interest lands monthly which is handy. That said, the rate sits below the market average and 1.24% behind the current fixed-rate leader at 5.35%, so existing RBS customers aside, I would check OakNorth Bank's 12-month fix at 4.96% before committing. The real catch is the usual one for fixed bonds: no access until maturity, so only lock in what you genuinely will not need.
