The Co-operative Bank Fixed Term Deposits
Available exclusively for maturing Co-operative Bank fixed term deposit customers, our fixed term deposits have been designed specifically for customers who want to continue investing with us.
Features
- A choice of 1, 2 or 3 year fixed term deposits with fixed interest rates that won't change for the term you choose.
- Deposit between £1,000 and £1,000,000.
- You can choose whether you want to receive your interest on maturity or as a monthly income.
Interest on maturity will be paid as a lump sum into your account at the end of the term.
Monthly interest will be paid directly into a nominated account of your choice.
You can’t withdraw or add to your fixed term deposit before maturity, so you need to make sure that you don’t need access to your savings during the term.
- Can be opened as a sole or joint account.
- Receive annual statements if you select a 2 or 3 year term.
- On maturity your money will be transferred to a variable rate instant access account.
