2 Year Monthly Income Bond

The interest rate is fixed at 4.27% *Gross/ 4.35% †AER.

Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. Payments will be made to your nominated bank account on the same day each month as the date your account was opened. Your nominated bank account must be in your name and may be an external account or another suitable Furness account.

Alternatively, you may choose to have interest paid into this account. If you do, interest will be added to the account balance and will itself earn interest in subsequent months (i.e. it will compound).

As the interest rate is fixed, the rate will not change for the term of the account.

Based on the fixed rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000.00 in this account, you would receive monthly interest payments of £3.56 on average. Monthly payments may vary slightly depending on the number of days in each month.

If these payments are paid out to another account at the end of the two-year term, the maturity balance would be £1,000.00. The total gross interest payment would be £85.40.

If these payments are paid back into the account, at the end of the two-year term, the maturity balance would be £1,088.89.

This figure is for illustration purposes only and is based on annual interest being added to the account on the anniversary each year.

• From 6 April 2016, if you’re a basic rate taxpayer, you’ll be able to earn up to £1,000 in savings income tax-free.
• Higher-rate taxpayers will be able to earn up to £500. Additional rate taxpayers will not receive any allowance. This is called the Personal Savings Allowance. This means that most people will no longer pay tax on savings interest. Banks and building societies will stop deducting tax from your account interest.
