Interest Rate Definitions

1. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
2. Gross – The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax)

This account has a variable rate of interest and is subject to change; this means we may increase or decrease interest rates at any time. If we reduce the interest rate and you have at least £100 in your account, we will give you 14 days notification prior to the change and you will have a period of 30 days from the date of the notification to switch or close your account.

Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Account General Terms and Conditions for further information on how and why we may change the interest rate.

Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months your estimated balance would be £1,025.50.

This figure is for illustration purposes and is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in interest rate within the 12 month period.
