What is 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. Please review the associated Terms and Conditions for more information on how interest rate changes work.
Should the bank amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, you will have 5 business days from that date to complete your transfer to receive the original rate. Otherwise after which time we will cancel your order. You will be contacted if this occurs. Please ensure you log in and check your Raisin Account during the funding process.

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 £1,047.20. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

Bank Details

Zenith Bank (UK) Ltd is a UK subsidiary of Zenith Bank PLC, one of the leading banks in Nigeria. Zenith Bank (UK) Ltd is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. The Bank is also a member of the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

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.
