Our Expert Opinion on UBL UK 5 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

UBL UK's 5 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA pays 4.72%, which sits above the Cash ISA market average but 0.53% behind the category leader at 5.25%, so it is decent without being the sharpest option around. It does beat inflation by 1.62% against a CPI of 3.1%, which is the real point of locking away money for five years. The minimum is £2,000 and the maximum £20,000, and the genuine catch is that no withdrawals are permitted without penalty for the full five-year term. If you want a slightly higher rate for the same term, Furness Building Society's equivalent is currently at 4.91%.
