* All ISA interest is paid tax-free, which means it’s exempt from income tax. We pay all non-ISA savings interest gross, which means no income tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.
**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and provides a means of comparing interest rates by showing what the rate would be if interest was paid and added once a year.
Please note: If you hold an account which isn’t listed above there is no change to the interest rate on your savings account(s) at this time.
