Ahli United Bank UK PLC: 12 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the expected profit rate?

4.8% AER/Gross (this savings account offers expected profit rather than interest as it follows Shariah principles).

AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the profit rate would be if profit was realised and paid once each year.

Profit is calculated from the start date and is paid on maturity. Profit will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax. It is your responsibility to declare and pay any tax on Profit in the appropriate tax year.

Can Ahli United Bank (UK) PLC change the profit rate?

The expected profit rate applicable to your account is fixed during the term once your application is approved and you fund your account unless we inform you that we are not able to achieve the expected profit rate.. Please review the associated Terms and Conditions for more information on how expected profit rate changes work.

Should Ahli United Bank (UK) PLC amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, we will automatically cancel your order. We will contact you if this occurs.

Expected Profit Rate

In the unlikely event that the advertised expected profit rate will not be met, (after you have opened your savings account), Raisin UK will contact you advising of the new expected profit rate. You will then have the option to accept the new expected profit rate or terminate your deposit immediately upon which Ahli United Bank (UK) PLC will return to you the original deposit with the accrued profit up to that date.

Bank Details

Established in 1966, Ahli United Bank (UK) PLC is a UK incorporated bank headquartered in London. It was originally set up to meet the investment and banking needs of offshore investors and visitors from the Gulf. Today, its range of British banking services include Private Banking, Wealth Management, Residential Property Finance, Commercial Property Finance and Premium Banking services. Deposits made into savings accounts offered by Ahli United Bank (UK) PLC through the platform are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per person, per banking group.

The FSCS is the United Kingdom's statutory deposit guarantee scheme that covers deposits in individual savings accounts up to £85,000, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails, and deposits become unavailable, the scheme may cover your deposit account deposit up to the £85,000 per person, per banking group limit.
