Savings alert: Provider increases rates across savings accounts – you could get up to 4% | Personal Finance | Finance
Savers can now benefit from a fixed rate up to four percent. The longer someone can lock their money away, the higher return is offered.
This can help keep someone’s savings plans on track despite wider uncertainty.
The increases to personal savings products include:
Fixed Rate Accounts
- One Year Fixed Rate from 3.00 percent to 3.75 percent
- Two Year Fixed Rate from 3.30 percent to 3.90 percent
- ThreeYear Fixed Rate from 3.35 percent to 3.95 percent
- Four Year Fixed Rate from 3.40 percent to 3.97 percent
- Five Year Fixed Rate from 3.50 percent to 4.00 percent
Not only can people unlock better rates for their fixed accounts, Aldermore increased the interest rate for their fixed ISAs.

- Two Year Fixed Rate ISA from 2.85 percent to 3.30 percent
- Three Year Fixed Rate ISA from 2.90 percent to 3.50 percent
Ewan Edwards, director of savings, Aldermore said: “We remain committed to helping savers through these challenging times.
“No matter how large or small your savings pot is, now is an important time to step back and review your options, ensuring you’re on the best rate possible to help your hard-earned money to grow.”
If someone deposited £1,000 into the one-year fixed term account, after the term ends, they would have earned £37.50 worth of interest.
DON’T MISS
The base rate went from 1.75 to 2.25 percent in September.
Britons are urged to shop around to secure the best rate.
Money saving expert founder Martin Lewis recently urged people to consider switching their savings accounts if they are getting less than two percent interest.
On ITV’s Martin Lewis Money Show, he said: “If it’s less than two percent, you want to check if you can get a better deal and ditch and switch.
“Don’t let your money languish in a low-paying account.”
