Our Expert Opinion on Vernon Building Society Fixed-Rate Bond

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vernon Building Society's Fixed-Rate Bond pays 4.40% until 31 July 2029, which does beat inflation by 1.30% against a CPI of 3.1%, so your money grows in real terms. That said, the rate sits below the market average for fixed-rate bonds, and the best available across that category is 5.35%, putting this 0.95% behind the leader. You need at least £5,000 to open it and there is no access whatsoever until maturity, so this suits someone who can genuinely lock money away and is comfortable staying with a regional building society rather than chasing the top rate.
