Scroll for more >

Interest, payable at the end of each month, can be added to the account, transferred to your bank account or transferred to an existing Melton savings account.
Can the Melton Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate is variable, which means we reserve the right to change them to reflect market conditions, to comply with legal or regulatory guidelines and to protect the Society’s long-term future.

We’ll give you fourteen days’ notice before any change that would disadvantage you.

For full details, please read our Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,015.10.

This figure is only an estimate, based on:

  • there being no additional deposits
  • no withdrawals being made
  • no rate changes in that time with all interest being added to your account

This illustration is just an example to help you compare accounts. It does not take into account any individual circumstances.
