Ziraat Bank: 24 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the interest rate?

4.72% AER (Paid as 4.83% gross simple)

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 is payable on maturity. Interest will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Can Ziraat Bank 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 Ziraat 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 24 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 24 months (730 days) on a deposit of £1,000 is £1,100.40. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

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 Ziraat Bank 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. Raisin UK will contact you approximately one month before the maturity date of your savings account to advise you of your options. If Raisin UK does not receive a response from you, your deposit will be held in your Raisin UK Account at the end of the fixed term until you decide what you would like to do with the proceeds. Your savings account will not automatically renew at the end of the fixed term for a further fixed term.

Additional Information

Meteor Asset Management (MAM), with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf. Funds will be remitted to Ziraat Bank by MIM on the business day after they arrive 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. All cash in transit and deposits once established, will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules. If you have any questions relating to your account, please contact Raisin UK.

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.
