*AER stands for ‘annual equivalent rate’ and shows what the yearly rate of interest would be, after considering how often interest is added to the account, and assuming no withdrawals are made.
Representative example:If you maintain a balance of £10,000 in your account for 12 months, your estimated balance will be £10,025.02 at the end of that period. This is assuming no withdrawals are made. Interest is calculated daily on your cleared balance and applied quarterly. The interest rate is variable and may change.
