Annual Interest

3.80% gross pa/AER

  • This account earns interest daily. If you choose annual interest, it’s added to the account the day before the anniversary of account opening.

  • This account earns interest daily. If you choose monthly interest, it’s added to the account the day before the same date in the month your account was opened. For example, if your account was opened on the 30th of the month, monthly interest would be added on the 29th. If there’s no such date, it will be added on the last day of the month.
  • 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.
Can Skipton Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate is fixed for the term of the account.
What would the estimated balance be at the end of the fixed term based on a £1,000 deposit?

The estimated balance at the end of the fixed term would be £1,077 based on the following assumptions:

  • the account is opened with £1,000 and starts earning interest straight away
  • no further deposits or withdrawals are made
  • the interest is paid annually
  • the interest is added to this account.

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.
