- The amount we will donate to our Charity of the Year will be the equivalent of 12 months interest paid at 0.10% Gross* p.a./AER† on the total amount held in the Cancer Research Wales Bond on the 31 December 2012
- Bond Matures 15 months after the date of opening
- No withdrawals or closure prior to Maturity
