Main features of the product

  • Any rate change will take place on the 1st of the month following a Bank of England rate change announcement.
  • 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.
  • The minimum investment is £1,000 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  • Withdrawals allowed but 180 days' loss of interest on the amount withdrawn will apply.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 If you have an online bond please include your BACS details as the withdrawn funds will be sent to your nominated account*.
  • We will write to you 10 days prior to maturity of your Tracker bond notifying you of the end of your term. The maturity balance will be transferred to a suitable product of our choosing 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 bond within five working days after maturity.
  • You will have 14 days from the date the bond is opened 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.

*Your nominated account is the UK Bank/Building Society account from which you send us your initial deposit.
