Important update
    Changes to the Bank of England Base Rate

    The Bank of England decreased Base Rate from 5.00% to 4.75% on Thursday 7 November 2024. Following this announcement, we will be reviewing how this impacts our current savings interest rates and this may mean we need to change your variable interest rate if this is applicable to your product. If we do, we will be in touch to let you know and provide you with your options.

    Key account information

    What is the interest rate?

    4.80%

    Gross PA / AER*

     

    Note, accrued interest is calculated daily and is payable annually and at maturity (the end of the term) into your nominated bank account.

     

    *AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. It illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest were paid and added each year. Please note, interest is not compounded. Gross PA means Gross Per Annum, i.e. before tax is deducted (at the legal rate).

     

    Can Close Brothers Savings change the interest rate?

    No. Your rate is fixed, so it will stay the same for the entire term of your savings account. It means you’ll always know exactly how much interest you’ll earn annually.

     

    What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £100,000 deposit?

    How do I open and manage the account?

    It’s easy to apply by post. The minimum opening deposit is £100,000 and the maximum is £5 million. You can pay money into your account by cheque or electronic bank transfer (details will be made available as part of the application).

     

    Managing your account is easy too. Simply call or write to us and we'll help with any questions or instructions.

     

    Can I withdraw money?

    No, you can’t take money out of a Fixed Term Deposit, so you need to be sure you’re happy to leave your money in the account until the end of the term (maturity).

     

    Before the end of the fixed term, we’ll let you know what your maturity options are.

     

    What happens at maturity?

    We will contact you on the day your deposit matures and explain your options. You can instruct us to reinvest your money or have it repaid into your company's nominated bank account.
