Offshore Savings Account Base Rate Tracker

 

If you have a large sum to deposit in sterling, an offshore Base Rate Tracker could be just the account for you. The highly attractive interest rates of our offshore Base Rate Tracker accounts will vary in line with changes in the UK Bank of England Base Rate.

We have two types of Base Rate Tracker accounts: Term Accounts which are one-year accounts paying a guaranteed interest rate linked to the UK Base Rate; and Notice Accounts where you can choose to give 90 or 180 days’ notice period to withdraw funds.
