Our Expert Opinion on Suffolk Building Society 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Suffolk Building Society's 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond pays 4.40%, which sits below the market average for fixed-rate accounts and 0.95% behind the current market leader at 5.35%. The rate does beat inflation by 1.30% against a CPI of 3.1%, so your money grows in real terms, but savers who shop around can do better within the same two-year term. Kent Reliance's 2 Year Fixed Rate Bond is listed at 4.91% and NS&I's Guaranteed Income Bonds at 4.81%, both worth considering. The main catch, as with any fixed bond, is that your money is locked away until maturity with no access.
