Our Expert Opinion on Scottish Building Society 2 Year Fixed Rate ISA

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Scottish Building Society's 2 Year Fixed Rate ISA pays 4.75%, which sits above the Cash ISA market average but is 0.50% behind the category leader at 5.25%. At 1.65% above CPI inflation of 3.1%, it does at least offer a real return. The main catch is that no withdrawals are permitted without penalty, so your money is locked for two years. If you want a slightly better fixed ISA rate, Buckinghamshire Building Society has a comparable account at 4.87%, though the minimum here is just £500.
