6. Definitions
Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) shows the interest rate if interest is paid and compounded once each year. AER helps you to compare the rates of interest on different accounts.
Compound interest is interest that is earned on interest that’s already been paid.
Gross means the interest rate you are paid on your savings with no compounding.
p.a. per annum (per year).
Tax-free. We pay all savings interest without the deduction of tax. You do not pay any UK tax on interest earned in ISAs. You may have to pay tax on interest earned in non-ISA accounts depending on your Personal Savings Allowance. The tax treatment may be subject to change in the future.
7. How do I get additional support with my banking?
Banking My Way is a free service that allows you to record feedback about the support or adjustments you'd like to make banking easier for you. The information will be shared on our internal systems which means you won't need to repeat these requirements every time you interact with us.
Once your account is open, you can record this through Anytime Banking or with our colleagues in branches or over the phone.
