Bank increases interest rates twice in a single week to offer ‘competitive’ returns


Aldermore is for the second time this week.

The boosted rates will be available to savers immediately as the bank works to provide customers “competitive returns on their hard-earned money”.

The latest rate increases include boosted rates for both new and existing customers, for both fixed rate bonds and ISAs.

Ewan Edwards, director of savings at Aldermore, said: “We’re always searching for ways to offer savers even better returns on their money.

“Our fixed rate products are a handy option for those saving for short to mid-term goals, such as a deposit for a home, a wedding or doing up a house.

“These accounts offer a higher rate of interest than typical easy access accounts to help you reach your savings goals sooner.

“We’re also pleased to enhance our savings offering for business customers, helping SMEs to grow and plan ahead for the future.”
