Fixed Savers are not available to all customers. If they're available to you, then you can apply for one in the Spaces section of the app or through Online Bank.
You can’t top a Fixed Saver up once it’s been opened, but you can have multiple Fixed Savers at once. There’s a minimum deposit of £2,000 for each.
But just to be clear: your funds will be locked away for a year; you won’t be able to access this money. Make sure you’re covered for unexpected circumstances by keeping some of your money in an account with easy access.
