Further information

Mortgage offset

Yes. Remember, if you offset your savings account against your mortgage, you won’t earn any interest on your savings account.

Interest rate

Rates are variable. Interest is calculated daily using your statement balance and is paid on the first working day of each month.

Gross

The rate of interest payable without tax taken off.

Tax

Interest is paid gross. If you’re a UK taxpayer, you may have to pay tax on interest earned in excess of your Personal Savings Allowance.

 

For further information and guidance, please refer to HMRC’s website

Please note, it’s your responsibility to ensure that any tax due on interest payments received is paid to the appropriate tax authority.

AER
