Our Expert Opinion on Stafford Building Society Notice 35

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Stafford Building Society's Notice 35 pays 2.50%, which sits below the market average for notice accounts and 1.90% behind the category leader at 4.40%, so this is not a rate I would highlight for most savers. At 0.60% below August 2026 CPI of 3.1%, your money is also losing ground to inflation in real terms. You need at least £5,000 to open it, and if you want a notice account with a similar 35-day structure but better returns, Moneybox's 32 Day Notice Account at 3.56% is worth a look instead.
