ACCOUNT NAME: BUSINESS MONEY MARKET FIXED ACCOUNT

We pay credit interest at a fixed interest rate and the rate is set when you open your account. We calculate interest based on your available balance each day

• For fixed deposits of less than 6 months - interest is paid when the deposit matures
• For fixed deposits between 6 & 12 months - interest can be paid when the deposit matures or monthly on the same day of the month that you opened the account
• For fixed deposits of more than 12 months - interest can be paid monthly on the same day of the month that you opened the account or annually on the anniversary of the day you opened your account

No, once the deposit has been placed the rate will remain fixed for the duration of the deposit and subsequent reinvestments or renewals will be priced at the prevailing interest rate.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

For the purpose of this calculation, it is assumed:

You can’t withdraw any of the deposit before it matures if you’ve invested £50,000 or more.

 When your fixed deposit matures:

• We can transfer all or part of the money into a sterling business current or business instant access savings account with us, or
