Summary box

This summary contains key information about our 1 Year Regular Saver Bond. You should read it carefully before applying.

Fixed interest      5.15% Gross* each year      5.15% AER† 
 
Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid after one year, on the anniversary of your bond opening. 

No, the rate is fixed for one year until the bond matures (when the account comes to an end).

£3,083.25 
 
This is based on: 

  • You paying in £250 a month for 12 months.
  • You making the first payment on the date the account was opened. 

This calculation is for guidance only, to show you what a future balance could look like. It does not consider your individual circumstances. 

  • You must be 16 or over and be a UK resident (see your 1 Year Regular Saver Bond account terms). 
  • This can be a joint account, but you can’t have more than one of this issue number of the Regular Saver Bond in your name. 
  • You can open the account in branch, at an agency or online. 
  • You must keep at least £1 (the minimum balance) in the account. 
  • If your bond reaches £3,000, you cannot pay any more money in. 
  • You do not have to make payments into the account every month. 
  • The most you can pay in each month is £250, in one or more payments. 
  • The bond will mature after one year, on the anniversary of the account opening. 
  • You can manage the account in branch, at an agency, by post, or by using a secure online profile with Principality. 

No, you cannot make any withdrawals from your bond before it matures. 

You can close your bond before it matures. Any interest you’ve earned will be added to the account balance and paid to you. 

We will write to you before your bond matures to find out what you want to do with your money. 

If we don’t receive any instructions from you before your bond matures, we will move your money to our Instant Access Account or the nearest equivalent we offer at the time. 

Service charges and costs may apply to your bond. These are set out in our Tariff of Charges. 

If the total amount of interest you earn is more than your tax-free Personal Savings Allowance, you may have to pay tax directly to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). For more information, visit gov.uk. 

In certain circumstances we may refuse an instruction for using an account. These circumstances are set out in our Savings Terms and Conditions.
