Fixed term regular saver

3
The rate on the fixed term regular saver at 3.7% is poor compared to others (Halifax at 5.5% and First Direct at 7% as examples). There is no facility for regular transfers from the variable term saving account so they have to be made manually every month. Reviewed on: 12th February 2026
