Paragon Bank plc: 24 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the interest rate?

3.85% AER / 3.90% gross
AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the interest rate would be if interest was realised and paid once each year.
Interest is calculated daily, compounded annually and is payable on maturity. Interest will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Can Paragon Bank plc change the interest rate?

The interest rate applicable to your savings account is fixed once your application is approved and you fund your account. The rate will stay the same throughout the duration of the fixed term. Should Paragon Bank plc amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, we will automatically cancel your order. We will contact you if this occurs.

What would the estimated balance be after 24 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 24 months on a deposit of £1,000 is £1,079.52. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

Can I withdraw money?

Because this savings account is a fixed term deposit, withdrawals are not permitted before the maturity date, except in any exceptional circumstances agreed to by Paragon Bank plc in its absolute discretion. This savings account does NOT operate on the basis that you can end the fixed term of your savings account prematurely and pay a fee to withdraw your funds sooner. Raisin UK will contact you approximately one month before the maturity date of your savings account to advise you of your options. If Raisin UK does not receive a response from you, your deposit will be held in your Raisin UK Account at the end of the fixed term until you decide what you would like to do with the proceeds. Your savings account will not automatically renew at the end of the fixed term for a further fixed term.

Additional Information

Meteor Asset Management (MAM), with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf. Funds will be remitted to Paragon Bank plc by MIM on the business day after they arrive in the MIM account. It can therefore take up to 2 business days for an ordered product to be set up and start earning interest. All cash in transit and deposits once established, will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules. If you have any questions relating to your account, please contact Raisin UK.

Security & Deposit Protection

The FSCS is the United Kingdom's statutory deposit guarantee scheme that covers deposits in individual savings accounts up to £85,000, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails, and deposits become unavailable, the scheme may cover your deposit account deposit up to the £85,000 per person, per banking group limit. Compensation limits are per person per firm, not per deposit. Be aware that if you have other deposits with this bank (or banking group) then the £85,000 protection applies only to eligible deposits up to this limit.
