• 5 year fixed – 5.4% gross/AER

Sarah Lawrence, Senior Product Manager at Barnsley Building Society, said ‘Some consumers are suggesting that they are resisting the current tempting fixed rate offers, believing interest rates will increase.

Whilst it’s likely that the Bank of England base rate will rise above its current 0.5% over the coming years, it is by no means certain that savings rates will increase in tandem.’
