What is the interest rate?

The Easy Access account offers a current variable rate of interest of 2.30% gross* p.a./AER**

Interest is calculated daily and paid annually on 31 December each year. If you close your account before 31 December, we’ll credit the interest on the day you close it.

Interest can be added to the account or into a linked account in your name.

*We pay all savings interest gross, which means that no 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.
