4.20% AER/ 4.18 Gross (this savings account offers expected profit rather than interest as it follows Shariah principles).
AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the profit rate would be if profit was realised and paid once each year.
Profit is calculated from the start date and is paid on maturity. Profit will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax. It is your responsibility to declare and pay any tax on Profit in the appropriate tax year.
The expected profit rate applicable to your account is fixed during the term once your application is approved and you fund your account unless we inform you that we are not able to achieve the expected profit rate.. Please review the associated Terms and Conditions for more information on how expected profit rate changes work.
Should the Bank amend the rate advertised before you have funded your account with the full deposit, and the rate is higher than your original order, the higher rate will apply to the deposit in your account.
Should the Bank amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred the funds and the expected rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, we will automatically cancel your order. We will contact you if this occurs.
If the funds have been transferred and your account has been funded with the full amount you wish to deposit before a rate change occurs, your Wakala Fixed Term Deposit account will open at that original rate.
Please ensure you log in and check your account during the funding process. Raisin will communicate to you any change in the expected profit rate (as set out above in accordance with the Trust Deposit Placement and Administration Agreement.
Expected Profit Rate
In the unlikely event that the advertised expected profit rate will not be met, (after you have opened your Wakala Fixed Term Deposit account), Raisin UK will contact you advising of the new expected profit rate. You will then have the option to accept the new expected profit rate or terminate your deposit immediately upon which Kuwait Finance House plc will return to you the original deposit with the accrued profit up to that date. Please also see refer to the Wakala Fixed Term Deposit Terms and Conditions for further information regarding when KFH may change the expected profit rate.
