Product details
5.08% Gross
AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the profit rate would be if profit was realised and paid once each year.
Profit is calculated daily, re-invested monthly and paid gross without prior deduction of tax. This means that there will be no income tax deductions from the profit payments you receive on your QIB (UK) deposit.
Any profit made will be paid on termination of the savings product
The profit rate applicable to your deposit is variable.
Should the bank set a date to lower the expected profit rate, you will be given a minimum of 95 days’ notice and you shall be entitled to close your account by providing 95 days’ notice. Should the bank set a date to increase the profit rate, customers will be given 95 days’ notice of the increase by Raisin in accordance with the Raisin UK Terms & Conditions.
Please review the Meteor Asset Management Raisin Deposit Terms and Conditions for more information.
‘Make Good Offer’
If your original deposit amount returns a loss, QIB (UK) shall make good the amount of any shortfall that you may have suffered. You shall therefore be entitled to receive payment from QIB (UK) of the full amount that you had previously deposited. Note that there is no requirement for QIB (UK) to pay any form of profit to you under this “‘Make Good’ Offer”.
You are entitled to refuse this offer, and can do so by emailing service@raisin.co.uk with the email title ‘Make Good Opt Out’. If you accept this offer, you shall therefore be entitled to receive payment from QIB (UK) of the full amount that you had previously deposited with QIB (UK).
We would like to draw your attention to the guidance offered by the QIB (UK) Shari’a Supervisory Board. The guidance is that if QIB (UK) needs to make good the amount of any shortfall (set out above), this will not comply with Shari’a principles.
The estimated balance after 12 months on a deposit of £1,000 is £1,052.00. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

You may withdraw the full deposit amount only. This will be subject to a 95 day notice period. You are unable to add to the initial deposit or make partial withdrawals.
Your notice of termination will start on the business day after you give notice via your account with Raisin (Please see the Raisin UK Terms & Conditions for further details of how to submit a termination notice). Once notice of termination has been given it can’t be revoked.
If a termination falls on a non-business day, then payment will be made on the next business day and profit will be paid for the additional days. e.g. If a notice account terminates on a Saturday and funds are returned on the Monday, profit will be paid for the intervening Sunday.
Meteor Asset Management (MAM), with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf.
Funds will appear in MIM’s account by the following business day from funding your application at the latest. Funds will be remitted to QIB (UK) by MIM on the next business day after arriving in the MIM account. It can therefore take up to 2 business days for an ordered product to be set up and start earning profit.
All cash in transit and deposits once established, will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules. Please see the Meteor Asset Management Raisin Deposit Terms and Conditions for further details.
You have the right to cancel your account without charge and without giving any reason, within 14 calendar days from the day of opening this savings account. For further information, please refer to clauses 1.18 and 1.19 of the Meteor Asset Management Raisin Deposit Terms and Conditions.
Shari’a banking, also known as Islamic banking, covers any financial activity that complies with Shari’a principles, reflecting the belief that exploitative gains, such as earning interest on money, are prohibited. Subsequently, Shari’a savings accounts use the money from deposits to invest and generate a profit, rather than an interest rate. There are no restrictions on who can apply for a Shari’a savings account.
