Leeds Direct Bonus Tracker postal account proves popular

Customers are lapping up the Leeds Direct Bonus Tracker postal account, which tracks the Bank of England (BoE) base rate plus a guaranteed bonus of 0.35 per cent until August 1st of next year.

Currently the rate stands at 4.85 per cent, and the product also allows customers a total of two withdrawals without a loss of interest.

Stuart Fearn, product development manager, said: "With a minimum investment of only £5,000 the Direct Bonus Tracker will be an excellent addition to any investment portfolio."

He went on to say that the guaranteed link to the base rate for a whole year, as well as the penalty free access to the money combine to offer customers outstanding value.

To apply, customers can phone the Leeds Building Society hotline, or visit its website.
