Our Expert Opinion on UBL UK 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

UBL UK's 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA pays 4.71%, which sits above the cash ISA market average but 0.54% behind the category leader at 5.25%. It suits ISA savers who want a straightforward one-year fix with a minimum of £2,000 and a maximum of £20,000, and the rate beats CPI inflation by 1.61% at current levels. The main catch is no withdrawals without penalty, so only commit money you can leave untouched. Shawbrook and Charter Savings Bank both offer 4.77% on a comparable one-year fix if you want to close that gap.
