  • Run both accounts in branch, by post or online (account cannot be opened online)

  • Save from £20 to £250 a month into your Gold Savings Account

  • Transfer £500 or more into your Gold Current Account every month

  • Don't touch your savings for a full 12 months

  • Invest up to £3,000 over the year into your Gold Savings Account

  • That's it! You'll earn a fantastic 5.00% gross/AER*** on your savings

  • Want a great rate that's fixed for a year

  • Don't need access to your savings

Definitions

* 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.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Your Gold Savings Account is linked to your Gold Current Account.

  • To get the special rate this account offers, you just have to save between £20 and £250 into your Gold Savings Account every month.

  • Your Gold Savings Account is limited to 12 months.

  • You can only ever have one Gold Savings Account.

MINIMUM INVESTMENT

  • You must save at least £20 and up to £250 each month for a full 12 months.

  • You also need to pay at least £500 into your Gold Current Account every month over the same period.

MAXIMUM SAVINGS

  • The maximum sum that can be invested in a Gold Savings Account is £3,000.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE 12 MONTHS?

  • After the 12 months, your money will be transferred into the variable rated, easy access Instant Reserve account.

WITHDRAWALS

  • You can't make any withdrawals from your Gold Savings Account during the 12 months - that's how we are able to offer you such a great rate of interest at the end.

INTEREST

  • Interest on your savings is paid on the anniversary of the account open date.
