Even though the Bank of England has decided to keep interest rates at 5% for the moment, Bradford and Bingley has announced the launch of a new bond this week which will give investors around 7% gross. The bonds are available over 1 year, 2 year and 3 year durations and are currently the best on offer in the marketplace.
The minimum investment for these bonds is £1,000 and the maximum is £2 million, and there is sure to be great interest from consumers and investors alike.

The future availability of other similar offers will very much depend on how the money markets and UK economy fair over the coming months. |
