What is the interest rate?
4.60 % AER

(Paid as 4.60% Gross)

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 Halcyon Money 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, you will have 14 days to cancel your application, and your original deposit amount will be returned to your Transaction Account. We will contact you if this occurs.

Please note, for renewal orders the rate you will receive will be confirmed as the rate available 5 days before the date of maturity. Please see our FAQs 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 £1046.00. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

How do I open and manage my account

To open this savings account, you must apply online through Raisin UK. Savings accounts at Raisin UK are only available through this online application process, and to be eligible to apply, you must:

●  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
●  Have a valid mobile phone number and email address
●  Have a UK National Insurance Number

Your application acceptance will be subject to the successful completion of Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer (AML/KYC) checks.

The minimum amount you can deposit is £1000, and the maximum amount you can deposit is £85,000 (per product and banking institution).

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.

This product will automatically renew at the end of its term into a new fixed term deposit. For an original term of up to 12 months, your term deposit is automatically renewed for the same duration. For an initial duration of more than 12 months, it will be extended for 12 months. You can deactivate the automatic prolongation up to five calendar days before the maturity of the term deposit in your online banking.
Should you not want the default renewal term you can choose to renew into a different term at any time once the product is open if the option is available with your bank.

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

Can I withdraw money?

Because this savings account is a fixed term deposit, withdrawals are not permitted before the maturity date, except if an account holder dies, becomes mentally incapacitated or bankrupt, or in any other exceptional circumstances agreed to by Transave Credit Union Limited T/A Halcyon Money 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.

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 Transave Credit Union Limited T/A Halcyon Money 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.

According to the bank’s terms and conditions, there is a 14-day period Right of withdrawal.

Security and deposit guarantee

Deposits are eligible for protection by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) http://www.fscs.org.uk/. 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.

Timescales for the return of your money can vary between different banks and banking groups. This bank holds funds under a direct model. Funds held directly by the bank are usually returned within 2-3 days.
