Locked in a low rate in a rising market with no cooling off period. I won't be taking out any more 12 month fixes, here or elsewhere. But of the 7 one-year bonds I took out, this was the lowest rate. Reviewed on: 26th January 2024

Great value, intuitive and easy.

We read lots of reviews and savings advice before opening our fixed rate account with SmartSave. The online application was simple and straightforward and we have been kept informed at all appropriate stages. A professional service that is highly rated for good reason Reviewed on: 26th January 2024
