Fixed Rate Bond (fixed until 31.03.2027)

4.35% Gross pa/AER

Opens with £1,000

Our Fixed Rate Bond (fixed until 31.03.2027) has a fixed interest rate until 31.03.2027. After this date your account reverts to the Chorleian Instant Access account with a variable rate of interest.

How is interest calculated?

The interest rate is fixed. Interest is calculated on a daily basis and paid annually on 31st March each year and upon maturity. The annual interest will be paid directly into your nominated UK Bank account, building society account or a nominated account with the Society (excluding this account). Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Account General Terms and Conditions for further information on how we calculate interest.

Where interest is paid to an external UK bank or building society account the interest will be available within 3 working days.

Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Account General Terms and Conditions for details on how we calculate interest.

Details of our full range of products and current interest rates are available on request at our branches, by telephone 01257 235003 or from our website www.chorleybs.co.uk/savings

Interest Rate Definitions 

  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added to the account once each year.
  • Gross – The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax).

Can Chorley Building Society change the interest rate? 

This interest rate is fixed until 31.03.2027 meaning we cannot change the interest rate during this fixed term period. After this date your account reverts to the Chorleian Instant Access account with a variable rate of interest.

The terms of the Chorleian Instant Access account are available in branch or at www.chorleybs.co.uk/savings.
