  • What is the interest rate?

    It is a variable rate, with the rate as at 11.07.2023 shown below:

    Online Easy Access Account
    4.18% AER/Gross p.a

    Interest is calculated daily and paid annually into your Online Easy Access Account.

  • Can UBL UK change the interest rate?

    Yes.

    As this Account pays a variable rate of interest, the rate can change over time. For example we might review the interest rate if the Bank of England base rate changes. We’ll always let you know of any planned changes to the rate.

     

  • What would the estimated balance be at the end of 12 months based on £1,000 deposit?

    Based on a deposit of £1,000 at the annual Gross rate advertised, it would generate an estimated;

    Online Easy Access Account
    £1,041.80

    Assumptions taken for the above calculations;

    • No change in the amount (no deposits, no withdrawals)
    • No change to the variable interest rate
    • Interest paid annually

    This estimate is for illustrative purposes only and do not take into account individual circumstances.

  • Additional Information

    This Account can be held in single or joint names.

    Interest will be paid using the Gross Rate and tax will not be deducted where your interest is exempt.

    Gross Rate means we won’t deduct tax from the interest we pay on money in your Account. It is your responsibility to pay any tax you may owe to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) or the relevant Tax Authority.

    AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will include an AER, it makes it easier for you to compare what return you can expect from your savings over time.
