Interest rates are banded until 12 February 2025. This means that you’ll earn the higher rate on the first £10,000 of your balance and the lower rate on the additional balance over £10,000.

For example, if you had a balance of £10,100 interest would be calculated at the higher rate on the first £10,000 of your balance and the lower rate on the additional £100.
