Compare Scottish Building Society savings accounts
Getting a savings account that helps your savings grow quickly is possible. However, the right savings account will likely depend on the size of your savings, how long you want to tie your savings up for and the amount of interest you want to earn.
Scottish Building Society’s range of savings options can help you reach your savings goals.
Instant Access Savings Accounts
An instant access savings account provides unlimited withdrawals and the ability to earn interest on your savings.
Scottish Building Society’s instant access accounts have modest rates of interest and allow you to withdraw from your savings at any time.
Generally, notice savings accounts require a number of days’ notice before you can make a withdrawal. However, if you open a notice savings account you will likely receive higher interest than instant access accounts.
The notice account from Scottish Building Society provides higher interest rates, in exchange for the requirement to give 30 days’ notice to make a withdrawal.
You could see your savings grow rapidly by putting aside an agreed amount every month. There are some accounts that reward regular savers with access to higher rates of interest.
Scottish Building Society’s Regular Saver account has a low monthly deposit and offers better interest than their instant access account.
Fixed rate bonds provide some of the most competitive interest on the market, which is guaranteed for the life of the bond, providing you do not make a withdrawal from your savings.
The fixed rate bonds that Scottish Building Society provide are only available to existing customers.
You could open a cash ISA to minimise the amount of tax you pay on your interest, as cash ISAs have the ability to provide up to £20,000 tax-free interest on your savings.
Scottish Building Society’s cash ISAs lets you take advantage of the £20,000 tax-free allowance, along with the ability to use your savings at your convenience.
