Summary Box

Account name Triple Access Saver Issue 7
What is the interest rate?
Annual Interest

3.50% gross pa/AER

  • This account earns interest daily and it’s added to the account the day before the anniversary of account opening.
  • If you ask us to pay interest to a different account, we’ll pay it on the first business day after the day we’d have added it to this account. Business days exclude Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays.
Monthly Interest: No monthly interest option available.
Can Skipton Building Society change the interest rate?
  • Yes, the interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down.
  • Section 8 of our Savings Account Terms and Conditions explains why we may change the interest rate.
  • We'll notify you in advance if we intend to reduce your interest rate.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £5,000 deposit?
  • The estimated balance after 12 months would be £5,175 based on the following assumptions:
    • the account is opened with £5,000 and starts earning interest straight away
    • no further deposits or withdrawals are made
    • the interest is paid annually
    • the interest is added to the account
    • there is no change to the interest rates stated.
  • Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only. They may be less for accounts opened by debit card or cheque, because interest won’t be earned until your account receives the deposit.
How do I open and manage my account?
  • This account is available to UK residents aged 16 or over.
  • To open and manage this account, a valid email address must be provided.
  • You can open and manage it through Skipton Online, in the Skipton App, in branch, by post or phone. You’ll be required to set up appropriate security and access measures. These might differ depending on how you choose to manage the account.
  • The minimum opening and operating balance for this account is £5,000. You must keep at least this amount in the account at all times.
  • Subsequent payments in can be made from £1.
  • The maximum balance for this account is £1 million.
  • Joint accounts are allowed, but cannot be opened in the Skipton App.
Can I withdraw money?
  • Yes, you can make three withdrawals per year (from the date of account opening) subject to the £5,000 minimum operating balance. The minimum withdrawal amount is £1.
  • If you need to make more than three withdrawals in the year, you can only do this by closing your account.
  • As long as you’ve set up the relevant security and access measures, you can withdraw through Skipton Online, the Skipton App, in branch, by post or phone.
  • You don’t need to give us notice before you withdraw and there are no penalties.
  • If you withdraw by electronic payment this must be made to a UK bank or building society account in your own name(s). We won’t make an electronic payment to any other type of account.
Additional information
  • The AER shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
  • We pay all savings interest gross, which means no tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.
