Our Expert Opinion on Stafford Building Society Notice 60

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Stafford Building Society's Notice 60 pays 2.7%, which is below the market average for notice accounts and 1.70% behind the category leader at 4.40%, so this is not a rate I would lead with. At 0.40% 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 the 60-day notice period means you cannot access cash quickly in an emergency. If you are comfortable with a notice account, Moneybox's 95 Day Notice Account pays 3.83% for a longer wait, or their 32 Day Notice Account pays 3.56% with shorter notice.
