Our Expert Opinion on Vanquis Bank 4 Year Fixed Rate Bond

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vanquis Bank's 4 Year Fixed Rate Bond at 5.16% suits savers who want a set-and-forget return and can lock away between £1,000 and £25,000 for four years. It sits above the market average for fixed-rate bonds, though it is 0.21% behind the current market leader at 5.37%. The real-terms case is reasonable too, at 2.06% above August 2026 CPI of 3.1%. The catch is straightforward: no access until maturity, so only commit money you genuinely will not need.
