Monument Bank limited: Easy Access Account

4.52% AER / 4.43% gross

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. This shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

Gross is the rate of interest payable before income tax is deducted. Interest is calculated daily and is paid into the Easy Access Account on the last day of each month, or upon closure of the Easy Access Account.

Interest will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

The interest rate applicable to this Easy Access Account is variable and may change from time to time at Monument’s discretion.

If Monument increases the interest rate, the new interest rate will apply immediately, and you will be notified as soon as possible.

If Monument decreases the interest rate, you will receive at least 14 days’ notice before the new interest rate will apply.

Please see the Meteor Asset Management Terms and Conditions for more information.
