Interest rate

2.50%
AER/gross a year (variable)

If you deposit £1,000, we will pay you £25.00 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 at the end of the term.

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.
  • After a year, we will move your money to another instant access savings account. We will let you know before this happens and what your interest rate will be.
  • You can pay in and withdraw money online any time using our banking app or internet bank. This account is not for those who prefer to bank in person at a branch.
