Summary Box

	Summary Box
What is the interest rate?	1.05% Gross* / AER† (Variable) each year (See the meanings of ‘Gross’ and ‘AER’ below this summary box.) Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid on 1st January every year.
Can Principality change the interest rate?	Yes, variable interest rates can go up or down. If you have £100 or more in the account, we will give notice of any reduction in interest rates at least 14 days before the change takes effect. For more information, see the section Changes to interest rates in our Savings Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?	£1,010.50 This is based on no further money being put in or taken out of the account and no change to the interest rate.
How do I open and manage my account?	You must be 16 or over and a UK resident (see your Double Access Saver account terms). You can open the account in branch or at an agency. You must keep at least £1 (the minimum balance) in the account. If the account reaches £2,000,000, you cannot pay any more money in. If we do not receive the first payment within five business days of the account opening, we will close it. You can manage the account in branch, agency, by post, or by using the online service Your Account, at www.principality.co.uk.
Can I withdraw money?	Yes, you can make two withdrawals from the account every calendar year. Closing the account counts as a withdrawal.
Additional information	Service charges and costs may apply to the account. These are set out in our Tariff of Charges. In certain circumstances we may refuse an instruction for using an account. These circumstances are set out in our Savings Terms and Conditions. If the total amount of interest you earn is more than your tax-free Personal Savings Allowance, you may have to pay tax directly to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). For more information, visit www.gov.uk and search Personal Savings Allowance. The interest rates quoted above were correct on 30/06/2022.
