Account name
2 Year Tracker Bond (Issue 2)
What is the interest rate?
Your interest will be paid annually, on the 31st December and at maturity.
We calculate the interest on the balance of your account at the end of each day.
Your interest rate will be 0.25% higher than the Bank of England Base Rate for two years from the date the account is opened.
You earn interest from the day you pay funds into your account until the day before your bond matures.
Can The Cambridge change the interest rate?
The interest rate is variable and follows the Bank of England Base Rate, this means we will change interest rates in line with changes to the Base Rate. This means your savings earn more when Base Rate increases and less when it decreases. Any changes in interest will take effect within one month of any movement in the Bank of England Base Rate.
See the ‘varying interest rates’ section of Terms and Conditions for full details.
