Summary Box

	Summary Box
What is the interest rate?	4.00% Gross* each year/AER† (Variable) (See the meanings of ‘Gross’ and ‘AER’ at the bottom of this page). Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid on 1st January every year.
Can Principality Building Society change the interest rates?	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 £1,800 deposit?	£1,839.00 This is based on you paying in £150 a month for 12 months, making the first payment on the day the account was opened, no money being taken out of the account and no change to the interest rate.
How do I open and manage my account?	This account is for people aged under 16 (referred to as 'the child' in this summary box) If the child is aged 14 or 15, they can open the account or it can be opened as a guardian account. If the child is under 14, the account must be opened as a guardian account (see the Savings Terms and Conditions). When the child reaches 16, we will move the money to an Instant Access Account or the nearest equivalent we offer at the time. When this happens, the guardian can no longer withdraw from or close the account and the child will manage the account themselves. To do this, the child will need to provide proof of their identity and address. The child and the guardian (if appropriate) must be UK residents (see your Dylan Young Saver account terms). The account can have up to two adult guardians. Only someone with parental responsibility can be a guardian on the account (for example a parent, guardian or foster parent). The account can be opened and managed in branch or at an agency, You must keep at least £1 (the minimum balance) in the account. The most you can pay into the account each month is £150, in one or more payments. You don't have to pay money in every month. If we do not receive the first payment within five business days of the account opening, we will close it. If your account reaches £20,000, you cannot pay any more money into it. The account can be managed in branch, at an agency or by post.
Can I withdraw money?	Yes, you can make a withdrawal or close the account at any time.
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. Children are not exempt from paying tax. If the total amount of interest earned is more than the tax-free Personal Savings Allowance, tax may have to be paid directly to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
