Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the month and at account closure. You’ll be able to see and access the interest in your account on the following day. Interest is paid on a tiered basis which means you’ll earn one rate on your entire account balance. If, for example, you hold £150,000 in your account and you have satisfied the bonus condition, your interest rate for that monthly bonus period will be 2.53% AER/2.50% Gross p.a (variable). on your entire account balance.
