New Paragon 2 year fix at 1.35%

Just spotted this, not on the MSE tables yet... and I 'think' it's now market leading as Access Bank have reduced their rates from what MSE is showing...
Hard to keep up right now!

Seems you jinxed the Paragon offer but there is Gatehouse Bank via Raisin: 1.36% https://www.raisin.co.uk/savings-accounts/fixed-rate-bonds/

Ooooh. Opened one literally 30 minutes ago! Got lucky, no way would Mrs RC
ever go for an 'expected profits' account (don't shoot the messenger, I've tried on this one, it's just never ever happening), especially with the added complexity of Raisin. She's a very smart woman but things like this I have to keep simple for various reasons, and luckily we are already with Paragon.

I honestly can't remember seeing this level of volatility in fixed rate avaiability before...

Gatehouse and Raisin are as viable as any other FSCS protected savings outfit. Gatehouse, in common with other Sharia banks, often offer better rates profit than non-Sharia outfits. But I understand that there are people who would never touch them. Sad.

that paragon 2 year fix at 1.35% looks to be still available via HL active savings, but for how long, who knows!
