High Interest Savings
If you're looking for an impressive rate from a short-term deposit and with a guaranteed return, you should look into the Barclays Wealth Treasury Deposits. It also offers:
- Short-term commitment
- Flexible options at maturity
- Available in sterling, euros or US dollar
Contact us today for details of our current rates:
Structured Deposits
Our Structured Deposits are medium-term savings (usually 3 or 5 years) which might give you higher returns than you'll get from traditional, cash-based offshore savings accounts. Returns are linked to the performance of an index such as the FTSE 100, so you could risk getting less interest or none. However, your original capital investment will always be repaid to you at the end of your Structured Deposits investment term.
Treasury Deposits
For a fixed rate of interest on your offshore savings when your money is tied up for a fixed period of at least a week (and up to 5 years ), a Treasury Deposit could be a preferred option, particularly as Treasury Deposits can be opened in virtually any traded currency.
Liquidity management service
A low-risk, tax-efficient way to invest offshore if you have a minimum of £250,000 to invest over a longer term*. Our Liquidity Management Service offers very competitive returns by opening up savings accounts with other financial institutions or counterparties.
