Barclays unveils new fixed-rate bonds

Barclays has brought out a set of fixed-rate bonds which it hopes will be accessible to everyone because of its lower minimum investment.

Each of the bonds requires £500 to be invested for either one, two or five years to get interest rates of three per cent, 3.75 per cent and 5.25 per cent respectively.

The two-year interest rate goes up to 4.25 per cent if more than £40,000 is invested.

Andy Grey, head of mortgages and savings at Barclays, pointed out that there has been a lot of interest in low-risk products that ensure a competitive return during the recession.

He said: "Our range of bonds will appeal to savers who want to secure a high fixed interest rate from just £500, making them really accessible to everyone."

Mr Grey also pointed out having shorter-term options such as the one-year and two-year bonds are well suited to those who do not want to lock away their savings for a long time.

Last week, Barclays launched an improved version of its mobile banking service which it claimed is simpler to navigate.
