Our Expert Opinion on Vida Savings 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vida Savings' 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond pays 4.30%, which does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.20%, so your money grows in real terms, but the rate sits below the market average for fixed-rate bonds and is 1.05% behind the category leader at 5.35%. For a one-year fix, I would look at OakNorth Bank's Fixed Term 12 Months at 4.96% or Atom Bank's 1 Year Fixed Saver at 4.90% before committing here. The key catch is the usual one for fixed bonds: no access until maturity, on balances between £1,000 and £500,000.
