Cash Mini ISA - Rate

  • Rates as at 1 August 2003 - 3.55% Tax free/AER interest paid annually. 3.49% tax free/AER interest paid monthly.
  • Previous rates: 3.90% Tax free/AER interest paid annually. 3.83% Tax free/AER interest paid monthly.
  • Tax free means the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
  • Annual Equivalent Rate means the contractual interest rate as if paid and compounded on an annual basis. If monthly interest is credited to the account and left for 12 months, the effect of compounding (i.e. interest paid on the interest) means that the gross rates for monthly and annual payment options are the same.
  • Rates subject to variation.
  • Should the interest rate on your savings account ever exceed that of your Cash Mini ISA, we will increase your ISA rate to ensure both accounts receive the same level of interest.
