Interest rate for balances of £5,000 or more:
Annual Interest (Fixed) 5.03% Gross / AER
Monthly Interest (Fixed) 4.92% Gross / 5.03% AER
Interest is calculated daily. Interest will be paid on the anniversary of the date we receive your first deposit – this will be monthly or annually depending on the product you choose. If the anniversary falls on a weekend or a bank holiday your interest will be credited on the next working day.
As the interest rate is fixed, the interest rate cannot be changed over the term of the account.
A deposit of £5,000 at an annual Gross rate of 5.03% (fixed) would generate an estimated balance of £5,516 in two years - This is for illustrative purposes only.
(This illustrative example assumes no withdrawals, no changes to the fixed interest rate over the period and interest is paid and compounded annually on a cleared deposit. Interest is rounded to the nearest pound. The illustrative example does not take into account the individual circumstances of a customer.)

Terms Explained
AER. This stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. If you left a sum of money in your account all year, the AER would be the interest rate you’d get if we paid you interest during the course of the year and your subsequently higher balance then earned more interest (this is known as Compound Interest). The AER will only be higher than the gross interest rate where we pay you interest more than once a year. We quote the AER on all of our accounts so that you can compare our products with those of other banks.
GROSS is the interest rate without the deduction of income tax. This is the interest rate paid on your account.

Before deciding on the best account for your needs, you may also find the following information about our business savings bonds helpful.
A business savings bond is a type of account available to businesses who wish to lock away spare funds for a set time. You can’t withdraw from this account until the end of the fixed term.
A fixed rate bond may be the ideal account for your business if you can commit to setting money aside for a specific period, such as financial obligations you know you will have to meet in a year or more.
Consider whether locking away funds for an extended period is the right option for your business. If you can set aside a lump sum for an extended period, you could enjoy competitive business bond interest rates.
If you’re looking for a more accessible account that allows withdrawals whenever you need, an easy access account could be a more suitable choice. If you know when your business will require funds in advance, you may prefer a business savings notice account and earn a competitive rate by agreeing to a 45 or 100 day notice period.
