We think that if you've got money in your account, you should earn interest on it.
Pay in £1,000 or more each month and you'll receive 3.50% gross each year AER credit interest… which could be up to 35 times more than what you're getting at the moment.
HSBC Bank Account, Natwest Current Plus Account and Barclays Bank Account each pay a credit interest of 0.10% AER as compared with us where the credit interest rate for credits of £1,000 or more paid in each month (but not transfers from other Nationwide accounts) and on balances up to £3,000 is 3.50% gross each year AER. Any part of your balance over £3,000 will earn interest at 0.10% gross each year AER. Our rates apply from 1 May 2008. The rates of other providers come from their websites. All information correct on 24 June 2008.
Whether you can open an account and receive certain facilities will depend on your circumstances. -
