Interest rates
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if we paid interest and added it to your account each year. The gross rate is the rate payable where interest is paid without the deduction of tax. If a negative interest rate applies to your account, this will be calculated on the same basis as credit interest.
If you have a balance in excess of £500,000 (or currency equivalent) or a mortgage in excess of £750,000 with us we offer a personalised service – please contact us so we can understand your banking needs
