Our Expert Opinion on Vernon Building Society Fixed-Rate Bond

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vernon Building Society's Fixed-Rate Bond pays 4.10% until 30 September 2027, which sits below the market average for fixed-rate bonds and 1.25% behind the category leader at 5.35%, so this is not a rate I would choose without a good reason. It does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.00%, so your money grows in real terms, but that is a low bar. The minimum is £5,000 and there is no access until maturity, which is the central catch here. Savers wanting a shorter commitment might look at OakNorth Bank's Fixed Term 12 Months at 4.96% instead.
