Freedom deposit
What is the interest rate?
- Where the balance on the account is £100 or more, the interest will be 2.5% Gross/AER fixed.
- AER stands for annual equivalent rate, and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded each year.
- Interest is calculated daily and paid into your account either monthly or annually, depending on the option on your account.
Can Savings UK Ltd change the interest rate?
- No, the interest rate is fixed for the duration of the term.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £100,000 deposit?
- Based on the interest rate of 2.5%, an account with a £100,000 deposit will have a balance of £102,500 after a year.
- This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.
- This projection is based on receiving £100,000 deposit on the first day of the due invoice, which remains invested for 12 months.
