Definitions

* Interest will be paid gross (that is before the deduction of income tax) to persons not ordinarily resident in the UK. Otherwise interest will be paid after deduction of UK  income tax at the appropriate rate.

** 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.

Do I become a member of N&P when I open a 50 Plus Savings Account (Issue 2)?

The 50 Plus Savings Account (Issue 2) 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.

Can I open a Joint Account?

Yes you can. The 50 Plus Savings Account (Issue 2) is available in single or joint names.

When will my 50 Plus Savings Account (Issue 2) 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.

What are the rules on withdrawals?

You can take money out of your account at any time without notice or losing interest.

Can I move money between my accounts online?

Yes you can.

Just remember that any transfer will be subject to the withdrawal terms of the account you're taking money from.

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.

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.

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.

MINIMUM INVESTMENT

The minimum amount you can put into your account is £5,000. If the amount you have in your account falls below £5,000, interest rate payable will be the same as that payable for our Investment Share account (excluding bonus interest rates) as varied from time to time (please call +350 200 45050 for details). We also reserve the right to close the account if the minimum investment is not maintained.

Our Satisfaction Pledge

At N&P, we understand how important it is for you to be satisfied with your investment accounts. If you open any new investment account and, within 14 days, you decide that it does not meet your requirements, we will be happy to transfer the balance to another N&P account. This is called a 'cooling off' period. Alternatively, we will return your money to you without any charge 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.
