Early closure option

If you need to access your money, and provided your deposit is under £50,000, you can close your Fixed Rate Savings before the end of the fixed term. There's a single charge to do this. Depending on when the withdrawal is made, you may get back less than originally deposited. If your deposit is £50,000 or more you can't close your bond or withdraw any money until the end of the deposit term. Partial withdrawals are not permitted.

Definitions

* [1] AER is the annual equivalent rate and illustrates what the rate of interest would be if interest was paid and compounded on an annual basis.

Gross is the rate of interest if interest was paid and not compounded each year.

All credit interest will be paid gross. Interest rates correct on 24.10.2024.

** [2] [3] We recommend you contact your bank before making a large deposit with your debit card so that they're aware that a payment will be requested from your account. This will reduce the chance of your payment being declined by your bank.

Lines are open 8am-6pm Monday to Friday (closed weekends and public holidays). Calls are recorded.
