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 October 2029, which does at least beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.30%, so your money grows in real terms. That said, the rate sits below the market average for fixed-rate accounts, and the market leader across that category is paying 5.37%, leaving this 0.97% behind. You need at least £5,000 to open and there is no access whatsoever until maturity, so this suits someone happy to lock away a lump sum for the full term who prefers a building society over alternatives like Buckinghamshire Building Society's Bucks Fixed Rate Bond at 4.83%.
