Interest rates are variable.

Interest and the bonus, if applicable, are paid at the end of the term.

Interest will be paid at the net rate after the appropriate rate of income tax (currently 20%) has been deducted, or gross on receipt of the required declaration form. Where interest is paid net, the income tax may be reclaimed if the amount deducted exceeds the investor’s tax liability. Higher rate taxpayers will have to pay the extra due (the difference between tax deducted at 20% and the higher/additional rate). Tax treatment and rate of interest payable will depend on individual circumstances and may change in the future. Net rates are illustrative only and have been rounded to two decimal places.

We calculate interest on the balance of your account at the end of each day. You earn interest from the day you pay funds into your account until the day before your bond matures.

When interest rates increase we will advertise the new rates, within three working days of the change, in at least two local newspapers (usually Cambridge News and Weekly News) and by placing notices in our branches. We will also place a notice on our website.

When interest rates reduce, we will personally tell you about it at least 14 days before we make the change if the change is material. Please refer to condition 7.7 of the ‘Terms and Conditions for Savers' for a more detailed explanation.
