Summary box

This summary contains key information about our Online Bonus Triple Access. You should read it carefully before applying.

Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid into the account on the 1 January every year. 
 
The interest you receive will be the rate with bonus for the first 12 months. After 12 months the rate will change to the rate without bonus. We will notify you to remind you before this happens. 

Length of time Rate
After the first 12 months 

3.20% Gross*/AER† (Variable) each year 

The interest rate without the variable bonus rate included 
For the first 12 months 

4.55% Gross*/AER† (Variable) each year 

Variable bonus rate of 1.35% included for the first 12 months 

Yes, both the interest and bonus rate can go up or down. If you have £100 or more in the account, we will give notice of any reduction in interest or bonus rate at least 14 days before the change takes effect. 

When the rate changes to the rate without bonus, we will send you a reminder 14 days before this happens, no matter how much money you have in the account. 

For more information, see the section Changes to interest rates in our Savings Terms and Conditions.

This is based on: 

  • No further money being put in or taken out of the account.
  • No change to the interest rate or bonus rate.

This calculation is for guidance only, to show you what a future balance could look like. It does not consider your individual circumstances.
