The launch follows the withdrawal of Nationwide’s previous Fixed Rate Bonds at close of business yesterday (17 April).

The new range, which is available from today, also includes a one-year Fixed-Rate Bond paying 6.30 per cent and a two-year Loyalty Fixed-Rate Bond paying 6.05 per cent.

Nationwide savings director Matthew Carter said: "Our latest range of fixed rate bonds offer people the opportunity to benefit from guaranteed high returns of over 6 per cent. These rates really demonstrate the benefits of being part of a large mutual organisation and are great news for savers."

The one-year e-Bond is available online to savers with, or opening, a Nationwide FlexAccount.

The two-year Loyalty Fixed-Rate Bond is offered to existing members of the Society who have been a member continuously for three or more years.

Minimum investment is £1 on the one-year Fixed-Rate Bond and one-year e-Bond.

There is no limit on the number of Fixed-Rate Bonds and one-year e-Bonds a member can hold, although a maximum investment limit of £2m on Fixed-Rate Bonds and £3m on Fixed-Rate e-Bonds applies.

There is a limit of one Loyalty Fixed-Rate Bond are per member. Members closing the bond in the first year will be subject to the loss of 120 days' interest, reducing to the loss of 90 days' interest for closures made in the second year.
