Minimum InvestmentTo open a Capital Account you need a minimum of £5,000.
Fixed TermThe investment is for an initial period of one year. Your account will mature on the last day of the month in which the account was opened after a period of one year. On maturity the investment can be renewed for a further year, (the terms and conditions of which will be notified to you one month prior to maturity, or you can transfer your savings to any other account as defined in the Society's literature available at that time.
Tiered InterestAs soon as your savings reach a higher band, the total sum invested earns a higher rate of interest. If the account falls below £5,000 the terms and conditions of the Capital Account remain in place but the lowest interest band from the current instant access account will apply. Interest added or paid on 31st December.
Monthly IncomeProviding your balance exceeds £5,000, the Capital Account can produce a monthly income from the interest earned on your savings, providing you with the dual benefit of both attracting a high rate of interest and offering the flexibility to draw that interest on a monthly basis. The interest rate for this option will be slightly lower than the rate paid for annual interest being added to the account. Further details are available from the Society
