Member Loyalty Saver (MLS01)

Member Loyalty Saver.

Interest is variable, calculated on a daily basis and is paid annually on 31 August.

†Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year, and has been rounded to two decimal places.

Gross is the rate of interest if interest were paid and not compounded each year.Interest is calculated daily from the day of receipt in the case of a deposit by cash or transfer and from the following day of receipt in the case of a deposit by cheque.

As the interest rate is variable, we may change the rate if we reasonably believe that the change is needed. If we reduce the interest on your account, we will write to you 14 days before we make the change.

For full details on how and why we will change the interest rate on your account, please refer to Section 8 of the Savings Terms and Conditions.

Based on the current interest rate, if you deposited £5,000.00 in this account, after 12 months you would have £5,250.00. This figure is for illustration purposes and is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in interest rates within the 12 month period.
