Our Expert Opinion on United Trust Bank Cash ISA 1 Year Bond

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

United Trust Bank's one-year fixed Cash ISA pays 4.80%, which sits above the Cash ISA market average but 0.45% behind the category leader at 5.25%. You need at least £5,000 to open it, and the real-terms picture is reasonable at 1.70% above CPI inflation of 3.1%. The main catch is that early withdrawals before maturity carry a charge, so this suits savers who are confident they can lock the money away for the full year.
