Key Information
- Fixed term deposit account – you cannot make withdrawals or transfers or close the account during the fixed term period.
- Cooling-off period of 14 calendar days – if you change your mind within 14 calendar days from the date your account was opened, any money deposited will be returned to the account it was sent from. We cannot return any money after this 14 calendar day period. If you do not deposit the minimum amount during the 14 calendar day period, your account will be automatically closed.
- Annual Interest – we pay interest annually, on the anniversary of the date you opened your account. Your account will accrue interest from the day that we receive your initial deposit.
- Gross Interest – we pay interest gross. Under the Personal Savings Allowance, the first £1,000 of income of any interest earned is tax free for basic rate taxpayers. The first £500 is tax free for higher rate taxpayers, and no Personal Savings Allowance applies if you’re an additional rate taxpayer.
- If the interest you earn is less than your Personal Savings Allowance, you don’t have to do anything; if the interest you earn is more than your Personal Savings Allowance, you must pay tax on the difference. If you fill in a Self Assessment tax return you should carry on doing this as normal. For further details on how tax will be collected, refer to the HMRC guidance on Tax on Savings Interest or visit gov.uk.
- Gross is the contractual rate of interest payable.
