Main features of the account

  • No minimum age (the bond can be operated on behalf of a child).
  • Annual interest will be credited to the bond on maturity. Monthly interest will be credited to the bond on the last working day of each month or transferred to a different Bank/Building Society account.
  • Minimum investment is £1000 per bond and the maximum is £1,000,000. Minimum operating balance £1.
  • No additional deposits.
  • Withdrawals allowed but 180 days loss of interest on the amount withdrawn will apply. Therefore, if you withdraw from your bond in the first 180 days this will be taken from your initial investment. For postal and online bonds simply send a signed withdrawal request to Head Office. If you have an online bond please include your BACS details as the withdrawn funds will be sent to your originating account.
  • We will write to you 10 days prior to the maturity of your Fixed rate bond notifying you of the end of your term. The maturity balance will be transferred to a suitable product of our choosing on maturity unless we receive alternative instructions.

    If you request a closure at maturity, your cheque will be posted to you on the second working day after maturity. Alternatively, the funds will be sent by bank transfer (BACS) reaching your account within five working days after maturity.
  • You will have 14 days from the date we receive your application form to reconsider your choice. If you change your mind within this cooling-off period, your investment will be returned without interest or penalty. If you invested by cheque we can’t return the funds until the cheque has cleared, please allow six clear working days.
