Additional information

Fixed Rate Maturity Process - The Society will write to you 14 days before the date of maturity to set out your options. You will be invited to reinvest your maturing funds into an alternative product, transfer to an existing MMBS account or withdraw the balance. If we do not receive your instructions before the date of maturity, your money will default into a 60 Day Notice account. If your funds are automatically reinvested into our 60 Day Notice account, you may cancel it within 30 days of maturity. We will help you switch to another account or we will give all your money back with any interest it has earned. We will ignore any notice period and any extra charges.

This is a summary of the key features of this account. You will still need to read the savings terms and conditions.

  2. It is your responsibility to declare any interest you earn over your Personal Savings Allowance directly to HMRC
  3. Net rate is the rate of interest which would be payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the rate specified, currently 20%.
  4. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded each year (as every advert for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time).
