Interest rate

1.30% to 1.60%
AER/gross a year (variable)

The interest rate depends on your balance. The higher your balance, the better the savings rate. If you deposit £1,000, we will pay you £13 in interest. This is based on the current interest rate and if you make no withdrawals over a year.

The interest rate is variable, which means it can go up or down. We pay interest annually on the anniversary of your account opening.

How this account works

  • We work out your interest daily and pay it annually. So the more money you keep in your account, the more you will earn over the year.
  • You can pay in and withdraw money online any time using our banking app or internet bank. You can also visit a Nationwide branch to bank in person.
  • The interest rate applies to the whole balance, and you can save up to £5 million.
