Interest can be added to your Furness Affinity and Charity account, paid to another suitable Furness account or an external bank/building society account. |
Can Furness Building Society change the interest rate? | As the interest rate is variable, we may change the rate if we reasonably believe that the change is needed. If we increase the rate we will tell you within 30 days of the change. If we reduce the rate we will tell you no less than 14 days before we make the change. For full details on how and why we will change the interest rate on your account, please refer to Section 7 of the General Investment Terms and Conditions. |
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? | Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,001.
