Learner Earner

Our Learner Earner account can only be opened in branch or agency. We’ve set it up this way because it’s designed to help children learn why they should save, through fun activity packs, a story book and stickers, a moneybox, and the experience of visiting their local branch regularly to deposit money.

^ Mae di-dreth yn golygu na fydd yn rhaid ichi dalu Treth Incwm y DU na Threth ar Enillion Cyfalaf ar y llog byddwch yn ei ennill. Mae’r system dreth yn dibynnu ar eich amgylchiadau unigol; mae’n bosibl na fydd yn cael ei chynnal yn y dyfodol.

* Gros yw’r gyfradd llog sy’n daladwy yn ôl y contract cyn tynnu treth incwm yn unol â’r gyfradd a ddynodir gan y gyfraith.

† Ystyr AER yw Annual Equivalent Rate (Cyfradd Gyfwerth Flynyddol) ac mae’n dangos faint fyddai’r gyfradd llog pe byddai’r llog yn cael ei dalu a’i adlogi unwaith y flwyddyn.
