    Shawbrook have increased their fixes, including:

    9 month - 4.92%
    1 Year - 5.37%
    18 Month - 5.36%
    2 Year - 5.35%

    https://www.shawbrook.co.uk/direct/savings/personal-savings/fixed-rate-bonds/
    Interesting that they are offering (marginally) higher interest on the 1 year than, say, the 2 and 3 year...
    Just like Atom

    Previously, IIRC, the 1 year was by some margin their highest - it is only with the latest update that the 18 month and 2 year have come close, perhaps suggesting that even Shawbrook (having seemingly been more 'conservative' on longer fixes) is now expecting rates to stay 'high' for longer than previously thought?

    Perhaps with the looming housing market problem they can't 'afford' (hmmmm!) to put up the rates much higher?

    Their must be a heck of a lot Hargreaves Lansdown 'Active Savings' account holders on here because this post hasn’t drawn in any comments, what gives. I mean 6% for 3 years from a well established  bank, most pension funds or dividends won’t beat this.

    Interest is not compounded, higher applied rate instead, 5.67% is rate it would be if interest was compounded, misleading to plug it as 6% for 3 years.
    This, and we will get to 5.67 soon across the board
