This new Business Bond is available for business savings of between £50,000 and £2 million, and is strictly limited – it will only be available whilst funds last.

Paula Ickinger, product executive at Abbey Business Banking commented: “With the Bank of England base rate at an all time low, Abbey’s new Business Bond provides certainty of return for business savers. This is a limited opportunity to invest anything from £50,000 to £2,000,000, and savers will get a guaranteed return which is significantly above the current bank base rate.

“Abbey Business Banking is committed to helping SMEs maximise their business potential, offering free banking, alongside a range of great products.”
