Investec: Easy Access Account

4.00% Gross / 4.08% AER

Interest is calculated daily on the full closing balance of the Account, credited and compounded monthly, and paid on termination of the savings product.

If you make a withdrawal request, interest will be calculated on the total amount in the Account up to, but not including the day of the withdrawal.

The interest rate applicable to your deposit is variable.

Should the bank set a date to lower the interest rate, you will be given a minimum of 14 days' notice. You may receive less if the rate increases.

At current interest rates:

A deposit of £1,000.00 would earn £40.74 after 12 months, for a final balance of £1,040.74.

A deposit of £5,000.00 would earn £203.70 after 12 months, for a final balance of £5,203.70.

These are illustrative examples that assume you make the full deposit when opening the account and do not make any withdrawals in the following 12 months. These examples are not based on your individual circumstances.
