What is the interest rate?
4.10% Gross*/AER**
The interest rate is variable. Interest is calculated daily and added to your account annually on the 31st March. Interest is paid gross without tax deducted.

**The AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

Please see section 10 of our General Savings Account Terms & Conditions for a more detailed explanation which sets out when we can vary the interest rate and how and when we will notify you if this happens. A copy of the General Savings Account Terms and Conditions are provided when you open the account.
