Saving for a big future purchase? Or have spare cash you won’t need to dip into for a while?
Lock any amount from £2,000 up to £1,000,000 into a 1-Year Fixed Saver, and we’ll reward you with a return of 4.48%. A Fixed Saver is managed from the Spaces section of the app, but remember: you won’t be able to access your money for one year.
Covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, up to £85,000 across all your Starling accounts.
Secure. Fix a rate of 4.48% interest, and know exactly how much you’ll save by this time next year. With Starling, your money is covered to £85,000 by the FSCS across all accounts.
Easy. Once you have a Starling account, apply for a Fixed Saver in a few taps, from the Spaces tab of your app. Not a customer yet?
Tidy. No more juggling multiple bank accounts. Fixed Savers, Saving Spaces, your day-to-day spending and more: it’s all managed from one seamless app.
You can’t top a Fixed Saver up once it’s been opened, but you can have multiple Fixed Savers at once. There’s a minimum deposit of £2,000 for each.
But just to be clear: your funds will be locked away for a year; you won’t be able to access this money. Make sure you’re covered for unexpected circumstances by keeping some money aside with easy access in regular Saving Spaces.
