What is the interest rate?
Annual Interest No annual interest option available.
Monthly Interest:

4.50% gross/ AER

  • This account earns interest daily and it's paid to your nominated account on the same date in the month your account was opened. If there’s no such date, it will be added on the last day of the month.
  • If your interest is due to paid on a non-business day, 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 £10,000 deposit?

The estimated balance at the end of the fixed term would be £10,000.

The estimated interest earned over the term is £1,350, which equates to 36 monthly payments of £37.50 into your nominated account. It may be less for accounts opened by debit card or cheque, because interest won’t be earned until your account receives the deposit.

These estimations assume that:

  • the account is opened with £10,000 and starts earning interest straight away
  • no further deposits or withdrawals are made
  • the interest is paid monthly
  • the interest is paid to your nominated account.

Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only.
