Melton Building Society: 14 Day Notice Account

What is the interest rate?

4.49% AER / 4.40% 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 Melton Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate applicable to your deposit is variable.

Should Melton Building Society set a date to lower the interest rate, you will be given a minimum of 14 days’ notice. Should Melton Building Society set a date to increase the interest rate, customers will be notified within 30 days of the increase.

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 £1,000 is £1,044.90. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

●      Be a UK resident who is aged 18 or over

●      Hold a UK bank or building society account from which you will fund your application

You can manage your savings account through Raisin UK by logging into your Raisin UK Account. You can contact Raisin UK by telephone, by email or in writing by using the contact details provided in the Raisin UK Terms & Conditions.

Please ensure you have read and understood all sets of Terms and Conditions before applying for this product.

Can I withdraw money?

You may withdraw the full deposit amount only. This will be subject to a 14 day notice period. You are unable to add to the initial deposit or make partial withdrawals. Funds may be returned to your Raisin UK Account in two separate payments by MAM following the notice period expiry. For further information, please refer to clause 4.21 of the MAM Terms and Conditions.

If notice of termination is received on a non-business day (either weekend or Public Holiday), or after 9am on a business day, the notice period will start from next business day.

Once notice has been given it can’t be revoked.

If a termination falls on a non-business day, then payment will be made on the next business day and interest will be paid for the additional days. e.g. If a notice account terminates on a Saturday and funds are returned on the Monday, interest will be paid for the intervening Sunday.

Additional Information

MAM, with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf.

Funds will appear in MIM’s account by the following business day from funding your application at the latest. Funds will be remitted to Melton Building Society by MIM on the next business day after arriving in the MIM account. It can therefore take up to 2 business days for an ordered product to be set up and start earning interest.

Cash and deposits will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules.

You have the right to cancel your account without charge and without giving any reason, within 14 calendar days from the day of opening this savings account.  For further information, please refer to clauses 1.18 and 1.19 of the MAM Terms and Conditions.

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.
