The changes included the introduction of a new 24-month cash Isa, increased expected profit rates on its 12-month cash Isa, 24-month fixed-term deposit (FTD), 36-month FTD and 90-day notice accounts.

The FTD range pays profits to customers either quarterly or at maturity, allowing customers to reinvest their profit to maximise returns or take it as a quarterly income.

Customers that reinvest their quarterly profit for the entire term are offered greater expected returns.

The new expected profit rates are available immediately to new customers.

• 24-month FTD: for customers who reinvest their quarterly profit for the entire term, the expected return has increased to 2.22% from 2.11% gross pa. For those who take the profit quarterly, the expected return has increased to 2.20% from 2.09%
• 36-month FTD: for customers who reinvest their quarterly profit for the entire term, the expected return has increased to 2.32% from 2.16% gross pa. For those who take the profit quarterly, the expected return has increased to 2.30% from 2.14%.
