Product summary - Easy Access Issue 11

Yes, the interest rate’s variable. We can increase or decrease it for any of the reasons set out in our Business Savings Terms and Conditions in section B2.

Deposit at account opening Balance at end of term Interest earned
£1,000.00 £1,034.00 £34.00
£75,000.00 £77,550.00 £2,550.00

These examples don't take your individual circumstances into account. They assume that you don't make any more deposits or withdrawals, that you earn annual interest and we pay it to this account annually.

If you choose the monthly interest option and pay it into another account, the total amount of interest you'll earn will be less as we won't compound the interest.
