What is the interest rate?

4.46% AER / 4.37% gross

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

Accrued interest is calculated daily, compounded monthly and paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Interest is credited monthly on the last day of each month.

Can Kroo Bank change the interest rate?

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 notice if the rate increases.

Please review the Meteor Asset Management (MAM) Terms and Conditions for more information.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 12 months on a deposit of £1000 is £1,044.60. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

If termination is received on a non business day (either weekend or public Holiday), the termination will be initiated on the next business day.

Once termination has been requested it can’t be revoked.

Bank Details

Founded in 2016, we secured our full banking licence in 2022 and have gone on to launch our FSCS-protected current account.

Security & Deposit Protection

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. Compensation limits are per person per firm, not per deposit. Be aware that if you have other deposits with this bank (or banking group) then the £85,000 protection applies only to eligible deposits up to this limit.
