UBL UK : 24 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the interest rate?

4.36% AER (paid as 4.46% gross simple)

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 from the start date and is paid on maturity. Interest will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Interest will be calculated from the start date of your savings account.

Can UBL UK 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 UBL UK 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.

Please note, for renewal orders the rate you will receive will be confirmed as the rate available 5 days before the date of maturity. Please see our FAQs for more information.

What would the estimated balance be after 24 months based on a £2000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 24 months on a deposit of £2000 is £2,178.40. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

You can choose to renew your account at any time once it is open (if the option is available). If the renewal rate decreases before your maturity date, we will revoke your order, and contact you to ask you to opt back in to the new rate. If the rate increases, your product renewal request will remain unchanged. Please see our FAQs for more information.

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 UBL UK 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.

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. Please note that you do not have a direct account with UBL UK but your deposit is held by them in a trust account opened by MAM for the benefit of you and other depositors.

Funds will be remitted to UBL UK 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 administered by MIM and held by MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules.

UBL UK reserves the right to close your account without any notice if we reasonably believe you have broken any terms of the product agreement. This includes but is not limited to, breaking laws / regulations, being engaged in financial crime, providing false information and committing any illegal activity (see UBL UK Personal Banking Terms and Conditions for further information available at www.ubluk.com).

Bank Details

UBL UK is a banking institution incorporated in the UK and authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). The Company was formed in 2001 from the merger of the UK branches of two Pakistani banks, United Bank Limited and National Bank of Pakistan, who had been operating in the UK since the mid-1960’s. The principal activities of the Company are to provide retail banking products through its branch network in major cities in the UK; wholesale banking, treasury and money transmission services, and finance facilities to businesses of all sizes.

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.
