A lender has launched a new fixed bonds deal.
A financier has today (December 8th 2010) announced the introduction of a new three-year fixed rate bonds package which could be of interest to people searching for such savings accounts prior to the festive period.
In news that may also be of note to those with a Yorkshire Building Society ISA, the lender has launched a fixed bonds product with an attached gross annual rate of four per cent for the benefit of both new and existing customers.
This deal can be taken out either online, via telephone or in one of the company's branches across the nation, with Sarah Lawrence, senior savings product manager for the firm, labelling the deal as "excellent value for money during the current financial climate".
"For anyone wishing to see an excellent return on their investment, then this is the perfect product for them," she added.
This comes after Santander recently also launched an array of fixed bonds deals with rates of up to 3.55 per cent.
Meanwhile, the Post Office has increased its home insurance cover by ten per cent for Christmas.
Anyone wishing to compare savings on the best home insurance products available in the UK prior to Christmas may be interested in a new deal being provided by one financier.
Under the terms of its contents and buildings insurance plans, the Post Office has decided to automatically increase all of its customers' cover by ten per cent in order to fully protect people over the festive period.
Christmas often leads to many homes being stocked with more valuables as well-wishers purchase gifts and expensive items for their loved ones, while the lender also points out that there is usually an increased risk of accidental damage to goods at this time of year.
Gerry Barrett, head of home insurance at the Post Office, commented this deal is intended to give customers "one less thing to worry about" through offering them "peace of mind".
Meanwhile, a study conducted by first direct recently found that a total of 587 million in cash will be given as gifts this year.
