Summary box and Key Product Information
Account Name

Regular Saver Account.
Interest rates

Interest is paid at a fixed rate for 12 months so long as you make the required 12 monthly payments to the account from your first direct 1st Account.

Interest is paid on the anniversary of account opening.

The interest rate is 6.00% AER/gross fixed for 12 months. So if you saved £300 per month for 12 months, you'd receive returns of approximately £117 gross (£93 net) in interest after 12 months. Interest is calculated daily and paid on the 12 month anniversary after account opening.

On the anniversary of the date your Regular Saver was opened, your account will cease to be a Regular Saver.

If you have one of the following accounts with us in the same name as your Regular Saver, your money and any accrued interest will be transferred to that account:

  • Everyday e-Saver
  • Savings Account

If you have both of the above accounts listed we will transfer your money to the account which pays the highest rate of interest. If you do not have either of these accounts with us, your Regular Saver will be converted to a new Savings Account.

Tax status

Interest will be paid after the deduction of the basic rate of savings tax, currently 20%, unless you are eligible and have registered for non-taxable interest.
Conditions for bonus payment

No bonus payments on this account.
Withdrawal Arrangements

During the first 12 months:

  • no partial withdrawals, however the account can be closed in full during this period. In the event of closure, we will pay interest on the balance of your account up to the date of closure at the same rate as would apply to an equivalent amount in our Savings Account or any account that replaces it.

After the first 12 months:

  • full and partial withdrawals are allowed without charge.

How much can I save?

You can start saving with £25 to £300 in the first month. After that, you can save between £25 and £300 a month by standing order for the remainder of the fixed 12 month term. If you don't save £300 in any given month, you can carry over any unused subscription to the following months. The maximum amount you can save over a year into this account is £3,600.
How to manage my account

You can access and manage your account online or by telephone.
How to apply

What else should I know?

The Regular Saver Account is a 12 month contract, so you can only withdraw your money at the end of one year. If you want to access your money before the end of the year you can, but you'll have to close the account. We will only pay interest on the balance of your account up to the date of closure at the same rate as would apply to an equivalent amount in our Savings Account or any account that replaces it.

This account is for sole account holders only, and only one account is allowed per person.

Definitions

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. This shows you what the gross rate would be if interest were paid and compounded each year.
