What is the interest rate? |
No interest is paid on this account
Whether you need to pay tax is dependent on your own personal circumstances and so may be subject to change in the future. † Interest is paid gross i.e. without tax being taken off on all our savings accounts – ISA accounts pay interest tax-free. * AER stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate and shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. This will enable you to compare more easily the return you can expect from your savings over time. |
