Bank interest rates are subjected to changes

The bonds are locked in at a fixed rate for a Long term.

Banks may change the terms and interest amount any time they want, usually with some notice period. Whereas bonds will pay the coupon rate for the stated period. Bonds may default though, so need to choose the bond carefully. Best if you can get some that are issued by our government if you are looking to buy some. Hope this helps
