Interest Rate Definitions

1. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added to the account 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 Accounts 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 £1,031.50.

This projection is for illustration purposes only and does not take into account your individual circumstances. The projection is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in the interest rate within the 12 month period.

Available to eligible UK residents aged 18 years old and above only. The account can be held on your own or jointly with someone else.

Only one Easy Access Saver (12 Withdrawals) is permitted per customer. Other Easy Access Accounts can be held alongside this account.

Twelve withdrawals each account year are permitted without penalty (*The account year runs from 1st January to 31st December).

Additional withdrawals will result in a lower rate of interest equivalent to the Chorleian Instant Access Account rate (currently 2.50%  Gross p.a./AER)  being paid for the rest of the account year. At the start of the new account year the account will revert back to the Easy Access Saver interest rate available at that time.

Withdrawals by cash, cheque or CHAPs* (*subject to a £25 fee) can be made. You can also request an online payment from this account, to a nominated bank account or to any of your Chorley accounts, providing these are in your own or joint names.  Withdrawal conditions apply; please refer to section 9 of the Savings Account General Terms and Conditions and section 7 of the Chorley Online Terms and Conditions for further details.
