Skipton offers offshore bond

Thursday, 23 July 2009 12:00

A savings bond providing 3.75 per cent interest has been launched by the offshore arm of Skipton Building Society.

Skipton Guernsey Limited has created the two-year guaranteed fixed rate sterling account as a limited edition investment.

The bond, which will be withdrawn when it is fully subscribed, is available for investors with a minimum of £25,000 to invest but does not allow deposits of more than £5 million.

Alan Bougourd, managing director of the firm, said it had launched the bond in response to client demand.

He added: "With the backing of our parent, Skipton Building Society, the fifth largest in the UK, this account provides both safety and security, giving savers a known return over the next two year, whatever happens in the markets."
