What is the interest rate?
4.75 % AER

/ 4.67% Gross

AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the interest rate would be if interest was realised and paid once each year.

Accrued interest is credited quarterly and paid gross without prior deduction of tax. Interest is credited against the deposit on the last day of each quarter.

Can HoistSavings change the interest rate?

The interest rate applicable to your deposit is variable.

Should the bank set a date to lower the interest rate, you will be given a minimum of 14 days’ notice. You may receive less notice if the rate increases.

Please review the associated terms & conditions for more information.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?
