Gross p.a./AER Variable: currently 3.25%
If your balance falls below the minimum operating amount the interest rate payable on the remaining balance for that calendar year will be equivalent to the Society's Extra Ordinary Account rate: GROSS P.A./AER VARIABLE: currently 1.25%.
AER: Stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year

The estimated balance after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit would be £1,032.50. This amount is based on the assumption that all terms and conditions for the account are met.

Can I withdraw my money?
Withdrawals may be made with no loss of interest following 180 days' written notice by post or online. Immediate withdrawals are not permitted. The Society will then transfer the money to your nominated account by the Faster Payments Service. Your funds will then be available to you on the next working day, so please take this into account when making a withdrawal (this is not suitable if you think you may need the money on the same day).
Will I get charged to operate my account?
The normal day to day operation of your account is free of charge. However there are some additional services that we may charge you for. These are as follows:
• Withdrawals by telegraphic transfer: If you ask us to transfer money to your bank as a same day transfer - £25.00
• Unpaid/returned cheques: If your bank or cheque issuer does not honour your cheque and we reverse the payment from your account - £7.00
