Introductory Bonus Accounts Explained

These accounts offer a higher initial rate in the form of a bonus on the account. This is usually for a fixed term and you should review the account when the bonus expires, or at the beginning of the notice period if this has to be given for penalty free withdrawals.

The bonus will be fixed, but the underlying rate is variable so you should keep an eye on the rate being paid throughout the term of the account.
