Everyday Saver

The current interest rate is 2.75% Gross/AER*

Interest is variable, calculated on a daily basis and is paid annually on 31 December.

Interest can be added to your Everyday Saver account, paid to another suitable Furness account or an external bank/building society account.

As the interest rate is variable, we may change the rate if we reasonably believe that the change is needed.  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.

Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000.00 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,027.50

This figure is for illustration purposes and is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in interest rate within the 12 month period.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest is paid and added to your account each year. From 6 April 2016, if you’re a basic rate tax payer you’ll be able to earn up to £1,000 in savings income tax free. Higher rate tax payers will be able to earn up to £500. Additional rate tax payers 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.
