What is the interest rate?

4.62% Gross/AER

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

Interest is calculated daily and paid annually back to your Raisin UK account. Interest will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Can Bank of Ceylon (UK) Ltd. change the interest rate?

The interest rate applicable to your savings account is fixed once your application is approved and you fund your account. The rate will stay the same throughout the duration of the fixed term. Should the bank 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.

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 £1,046.20. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

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 and Conditions.

Can I withdraw money?

Because this savings account is a fixed term deposit, withdrawals are not permitted before the maturity date, except in any exceptional circumstances agreed to by Zenith Bank UK Ltd in its absolute discretion. This savings account does NOT operate on the basis that you can end the fixed term of your savings account prematurely and pay a fee to withdraw your funds sooner.

Your savings account will not automatically renew at the end of the fixed term for a further fixed term.

Additional Information

Transfers of funds must be received within 60 calendar days (the funding window) of your savings account application date. Any funds received after this period will be held in your Raisin Account, awaiting your instruction.

Funds must be transferred to your Raisin Account from a UK bank or building society account in your name by electronic bank transfer only, and to the exact amount pledged when you applied for the savings account.

Should you not transfer the amount you pledged before the funding window closes, your application will be cancelled. Should you transfer more than you pledged, the amount that exceeds your original pledge will be held in your Raisin Account pending your instruction.

Typically, your funds will be remitted to Zenith Bank (UK) by ClearBank once the bank has confirmed your application. Depending on how your funds are transferred and the bank’s processes it can typically take around 4 business days for an ordered account to be set up and start earning interest.

Please note that Zenith Bank (UK) may conduct additional KYC checks before an account with the bank is opened and approved. Zenith Bank (UK) can choose to reject your application at their sole discretion if you fail these additional checks and your funds will be returned to your Raisin account immediately.

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.
