Can I withdraw money from this account?
- Withdrawals can be made in branch by cash, cheque, or CHAPS* (*subject to a £25 fee).
- This account permits 6 withdrawals per calendar year (running from January to December each year), without loss of interest or a penalty. Interest is paid annually on the 31st of December.
- The annual interest can be withdrawn, and this does not count as one of the 6 withdrawals.
- *Additional withdrawals will result in a lower rate of interest equivalent to the Chorleian Instant Access Account rate (currently 0.90% Gross p.a./AER ). This interest rate will apply for the remainder of the calendar year. At the start of the new calendar year the account will revert to the Easy Access Saver (6 Withdrawals) interest rate available at that time.
- The minimum account balance to be maintained is £500, should the balance reduce below £500 the account will be closed.
- You can use Chorley Online to request an immediate withdrawal or closure to any of your eligible Chorley accounts. Transfers between Chorley accounts will be processed on the same day, even when this is a non-working day or after 3:30pm on a working day.
- You can also use Chorley Online to request withdrawals or account closures to be sent to your nominated bank account by Faster Payment. Requests received before 3:30pm on a working day will be processed the same day. Requests received after 3:30pm, or on a non-working day will be processed on the next working day. Faster Payments will be credited to your nominated bank account by the end of the following working day.
