Our fixed rate bonds can be opened online, on our app, in-branch, or through an agency. Minimum and maximum deposit levels are shown on each product page, but you’ll usually need to invest a lump sum to open a bond.
Yes, interest on savings bonds in the UK are taxable. Most savers won’t pay tax if they stay within their Personal Savings Allowance - up to £1,000 of interest tax-free for basic-rate taxpayers, or £500 for higher-rate taxpayers. Interest on bonds is always paid gross.
You can find out more about paying tax on interest from savings on the government website: https://www.gov.uk/apply-tax-free-interest-on-savings.
Think about how long you can commit your money for. If you may need the money before the term ends, a different type of savings account may be better.
