Do I become a member of N&P when I open a 6 Month Fixed Rate Bond?

This is a share account, which makes you a member of the Yorkshire Building Society group of which N&P is a trading name. This means you can join Yorkshire Building Society’s general meetings and you have a vote on what’s decided at them as set out in the Rules of the Society.

What will happen to my money when the term of the bond is finished?

Towards the end of the 6 months, we will contact you to discuss the best options available to you when your Bond matures.

The N&P variable rate, easy access Holding Account will apply on maturity

What are the rules on withdrawals?

You are not permitted closure or early access during the term of the Bond.

Can I open a Joint Account?

Yes you can.

The 6 Month Fixed Rate Bond is available in single or joint names.

When will my account start earning interest?

Cheques paid into an account paying a variable rate of interest will earn interest from the second working day after the day we receive them. Cheques paid into an account paying a fixed rate of interest will earn interest from the day we receive them.

Money paid into your account in cash or by Bankers’ Automated Credit will earn interest from the day we receive it. Interest is then paid for each full day your money is invested, and will be added to your account in January each year (unless otherwise stated).

Your money will earn interest up to, but excluding, the day you withdraw it.

Can I be certain that online banking is absolutely secure?

You can with N&P.

Our online system is extremely robust. It is constantly checked by both internal and external experts. Advanced encryption technology scrambles all sensitive data to provide total confidentiality.

You are given a unique customer number and a 10-character password. When you use the service for the first time you might want to change this password for one that's more easily remembered - but don't write it down or make it too obvious, so that someone else could guess it.

Can I manage my account online?

Yes you can, subject to you being 16 years old or over.

Online you are able to:

  • View up-to-the-minute balances on all your N&P savings and current accounts whenever you like. 
  • Check all payments and withdrawals on your account.
  • Set up and cancel payments (subject to these services being available on your specific account). 
  • Transfer funds between your N&P accounts (subject to this service being available on your specific account).
  • Send and receive messages regarding your accounts.

To manage your account online you'll need to register for our online banking facility, you can apply online by clicking here.

The maximum amount you can withdraw online is £10,000 per day.

Now and again, when carrying out online maintenance, we may have to suspend certain facilities temporarily, so if you find our online service unavailable, please be patient, and do try again later.

For more information on our Internet Banking Service please visit our Internet Banking Section.

Is N&P a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme?

Yes we are.

N&P is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, meaning that your money is protected to a maximum of £85,000.

What if I'm unhappy with the terms of my account?

Just tell us.

We make it our aim to do the best we can for all our customers. If within 14 day's (7 day's for all Fixed Rate Bond products) you decide that this account is not for you, we will be happy to transfer your money to another N&P account.

Or if you prefer, we will return your money to you without any charge being made, or notice being required.

Any transfer or refund will be subject to the relevant funds having cleared i.e. a period of at least four days(excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) must be allowed for the clearance of deposited cheques.

*Interest will be paid gross (that is before the deduction of income tax) to non-taxpayers subject to eligibility and the required registration. Otherwise interest will be paid after deduction of income tax at the appropriate rate. Please note that gross interest can only be paid to customers aged 16 or over if they are the named account holder.
 
Net rates (that is after the deduction of income tax) shown are for illustrative purposes only. The interest you earn on this account will currently be taxed at the rate of 20%.
 
AER means Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
 
Whether you can benefit from gross, net or tax free interest is dependent on your own personal circumstances and tax status and so may be subject to change in the future.
