Ts & Cs
Springbells Fixed Rate Saver terms and conditions
Please read our privacy statement.
Fixed Rate Saver Account conditions
1. Your Fixed Rate Saver will be opened on your account opening date.
2. Interest is fixed on the account opening date. Interest starts to accrue once cleared funds are paid into your Fixed Rate Saver until the end of the term. If you make your deposit into the account after the account opening date, you will receive interest from the date of deposit until the end of the term and not from account opening date. The term over which you actually receive interest may therefore be shorter than the full term of the product.
3. You must fund your account within 30 days of account opening. If you do not fund your Fixed Rate Saver we will close your Fixed Rate Saver after 60 days.
4. You may only close your Fixed Rate Saver on its maturity date.
You have 14 days starting from the day after your savings account agreement is concluded to give us notice that you wish to cancel.
If you decide to cancel, we'll give you the current balance of your account and any interest your money has earned. We don't charge for cancellations.
The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law (currently 20%). AER stands for annual equivalent rate and illustrates what the interest would be if interest was paid and compounded each year. Net is the rate of interest paid after the deduction of lower rate tax at 20%.
