/ 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.
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 the bank amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, you will have 14 days to cancel your application, and your original deposit amount will be returned to your Transaction Account. We will contact you if this occurs.
The estimated balance after 12 months on a deposit of £1,000 is £1,048.00. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

Because this savings account is a fixed term deposit, withdrawals are not permitted before the maturity date, except if an account holder dies, becomes mentally incapacitated or bankrupt, or in any other exceptional circumstances agreed to by Punjab National Bank (International) Limited 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.
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, the proceeds from the fixed term 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 funds.
Meteor Asset Management (MAM), with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf.
Funds will appear in MIM’s account by the following business day from funding your application at the latest. Funds will be remitted to Punjab National Bank (International) Limited by MIM on the next business day after arriving in the MIM account. It can therefore take up to 2 business days for your selected Fixed Term Deposit to be set up and start earning interest.
All cash in transit and Fixed Term Deposits once established, will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules.
