Risk Warning

Please read this information before exploring fixed-term deposit or investment bond options.

Different products, different risks

Fixed-term deposits and investment bonds are different types of financial products and carry different risks and protections.

Investment risk

Investment products involve risk. The value of investments and any income from them may fall as well as rise, and capital may be at risk.

Deposit protection

Deposit protection depends on the provider, product and customer eligibility. Eligible deposits with eligible UK-authorised institutions may be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme subject to applicable limits and conditions.

Access and product terms

Access to fixed-term deposits may be restricted. The liquidity and exit provisions for investment bonds depend on the individual product. Always review the relevant product information, terms and risk disclosures before proceeding.
