Gold Current Account (Deposit)

 

Current rates

Account balance Gross* Net** AER***

Current rates effective from 24/04/08. The Gold Account pays tiered rates of interest - the more you save the more you could earn. Interest is calculated on the amount in each band. The interest rates that we pay on this account may go up and down from time to time. Further Information

*At the end of every month we will work out how much money has been paid into your account on average each month over the last 3 calendar months. If the average is £500 or more for each of the 3 calendar months, we will pay you interest at the higher rate of interest for credit balances while your account is in credit and we will charge you the lower rate of interest for overdrawn balances while your account is overdrawn provided that it is within your approved overdraft limit. You will also not be charged the usual monthly overdraft fee if you are within your approved overdraft limit. Any change in the interest rate that we pay you while your account is in credit and any change in the interest rate that we charge you while your account is overdrawn within your approved overdraft limit will be effective from the first day of the calendar month following the date on which the calculation is made. We will not usually write to let you know how much you are paying into your account on average each calendar month, but you can ask us to tell you this at any time.
When your account is first opened we will wait for 3 full calendar months before we do the calculation described above. In the meantime we will pay you interest at the rate appropriate to the amount of money you tell us you expect to pay into your account each month.
For example: If a Gold account was opened on 1st January 2004.

Amount paid
into account
Jan 2004 Feb 2004 Mar 2004 Apr 2004
Account A £600 £600 £700 £600
Account B £500 £300 £400 £800

At the start of April, we would review the account for January, February and March to establish the average amount paid into it each month. The interest rate paid from 1st April would then be adjusted (if necessary), as would the interest rate charged on any overdrawn balance. In the example above, Account A would continue to receive the higher rate of interest on credit balances, having paid in an average of over £600 per month. Account B would, from 1st April, receive the lower rate of interest on credit balances, having an average of only £400 being paid in each month.
This process would be repeated each month on a rolling basis e.g. in May we would calculate the average amount credited to the account in February, March and April.
