Important Information

The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) shows what the interest would be if the interest was paid and added to the account once each year. It lets you compare savings accounts easily. Gross rate means that credit interest is paid without income tax being deducted. Tax-free is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.

You need to be 16+ and UK resident to open most of our savings accounts with the exception of Savings Pots and TSB ISAs. For children under 16 please see specific pages for opening procedures.
