Yorkshire Building Society has announced another major overhaul to its range of savings products, offering customers "enhanced" interest rates.
This latest move from the high street financial constitution coincides with the Bank of England's latest interest rate announcement earlier today.
The central bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members voted to keep the UK's base rate as its current level of 4.25 per cent in a blow to borrowers.
Ahead of this decision, Yorkshire Building Society confirmed its intention to raise rates by up to 0.30 per cent across fixed-rate savings account options.
As part of its latest deal, the building society is offering a one-year fixed rate bond offering a four per cent AER to new and existing customers.
Anyone interested in this competitive deal can access it through through either Yorkshire's branches and agencies, or via post or its website.
With a minimum opening balance of £1,000, the one-year fixed rate bond pays interest annually and matures on July 31, 2026.
More information on YorkshireBuildingSociety savings accounts can be found by visiting a local branch or agency, calling 0345 1200 100 or visiting www.ybs.co.uk.
