| Interest rates | Interest payment frequency | Notice period |
|---|---|---|
|
1.60% - 2.35% AER* (variable) |

*AER stands for annual equivalent rate. It shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. Variable means we change these rates and charges from time to time, or introduce new charges. If this means you’ll pay more, we’ll let you know beforehand.
** Monthly AER shows what the interest rate would be with interest paid and compounded on a monthly basis.
