Notice accounts

What is a notice account?

Notice accounts give you flexibility with your savings and the opportunity to earn higher interest than with an easy access account. You can top up your savings over time and have access if you give the required amount of notice.

The rate on notice accounts is variable so can change over time.

To learn more about notice accounts see our notice account guide

 

How do I make additional deposits into my notice account?

You can make deposits from your nominated bank account by either electronic bank transfer or cheque.​

What if my rate changes?

If your rate increases, we will let you know as soon as possible, this can be after the new rate is effective.

We will notify you in line with your notice period for any rate decreases. We will assume you’re happy to accept the change if after this period you do not choose to close your account.

 

What is the Personal Savings Allowance?

Unlike ISAs notice accounts are subject to tax. However, the government introduced the Personal Savings Allowing in 2016 which allows you to earn a certain amount of tax-free interest on your savings dependant on your tax bracket.
