Additional information

Fixed rate maturity process – The Society will write to you 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 Melton Building Society account or withdraw the balance. If we do not receive your instructions before the date of maturity, your money will default into a 30 Day Notice account. If your funds are automatically reinvested into our 30 Day Notice account, you may withdraw your funds without loss of interest or penalty within 30 days of maturity, after this 30 days’ notice will be required for withdrawal. We will help you switch to another account, or we will give all your money back with any interest it has earned.

This is a summary of the key features of this account. You will still need to read the general Savings Terms and Conditions.

  1. Gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable without tax taken off.
  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).

  6. The Melton Mowbray Building Society is a participant in the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Market Act 2000.
