Ewan Edwards, director of savings, Aldermore said: “We remain committed to helping savers through these challenging times.
“No matter how large or small your savings pot is, now is an important time to step back and review your options, ensuring you’re on the best rate possible to help your hard-earned money to grow.”
If someone deposited £1,000 into the one-year fixed term account, after the term ends, they would have earned £37.50 worth of interest.
Their total balance at the end of the year would be £1,037.50.
To open an account, people need to be aged 18 years or over, resident in the UK and only tax resident in the UK.

Banks have been increasing the rates on their savings accounts following the Bank of England base rate increase.
The base rate went from 1.75 to 2.25 percent in September.
Britons are urged to shop around to secure the best rate.
Money saving expert founder Martin Lewis recently urged people to consider switching their savings accounts if they are getting less than two percent interest.
On ITV’s Martin Lewis Money Show, he said: “If it’s less than two percent, you want to check if you can get a better deal and ditch and switch.
“Don’t let your money languish in a low-paying account.”
