Our Expert Opinion on Sidekick Fixed Term Savings - 2 Year

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Sidekick's two-year fix pays 4.25%, which is below the market average for fixed-rate savings and 1.10% behind the category leader at 5.35%, so it is hard to recommend on rate alone. The account is provided by Hampshire Trust Bank, accepts deposits from £1 up to £250,000, and pays interest back to your Sidekick Wallet at maturity, with no access before then. If you want a two-year term, Kent Reliance's 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond at 4.91% is worth a look instead.
