What is the interest rate? Interest rate without bonus 4.85% Gross*/AER† (Variable) each year

Interest rate with bonus (variable bonus rate of 0.15% included for the first 12 months) 5.00% Gross*/AER† (Variable) each year     

(See the meanings of ‘Gross’ and ‘AER’ at the bottom of the page)

Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid on the 1st January every year.

The interest you receive will be the rate with bonus for the first 12 months. After 12 months the rate will change to the rate without bonus. We will notify you to remind you before this happens.
Can Principality change the interest rate?
  • Yes, variable interest rates can go up or down.
  • If you have £100 or more in the account, we will give notice of any reduction in interest rates at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
  • For more information, see the section Changes to interest rates in our Savings Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? Estimated balance after 12 months (interest rate of 5.00% AER, includes variable bonus rate of 0.15% tax-free for 12 months)
£1,050.00

Estimated balance after 24 months (only the underlying interest rate of 4.85% AER is paid for months 13 to 24)
£1,100.93

This is based on no further money being put in or taken out of the account and no change to the interest rate or bonus rate.
