2.20. For the terms and conditions of individual Savings Accounts offered through the Raisin UK Platform, please refer to the specific product details provided by the Partner Bank within your Raisin UK Account.

Via the Platform, you can – subject to the specific conditions of each Savings Account – manage your Savings Account(s) and, for example, renew or request a termination or receive messages from the Partner Bank. You can also use the Platform to transfer funds in your Transaction Account (for example, proceeds received following a closure of a Savings Account) back to your Nominated Account, in which case the Service Bank will receive such instructions the same day. This option will only be clearly displayed on the Platform. Once given, your instructions cannot be withdrawn.

2.22. Once you are a Raisin UK customer and have a Raisin UK Account and a Transaction Account, should you decide to open a Savings Account, you will need to enter into a deposit contract with the relevant Partner Bank, unless the Trustee enters into a deposit contract with the relevant Partner Bank as bare trustee on your behalf.

Structured deposits are deposits with interest rates linked to the performance of underlying investments. We will always make it clear when a Partner Bank product is a structured deposit and explain to you how the particular product works.

2.24. As the Savings Account is held by a Partner Bank, there may be some additional verification or Information required from you. Opening a Savings Account may involve the Partner Bank (or its subcontractor(s)) performing certain checks and verifications, including checks required under the Anti-money laundering requirements and other applicable UK law. The Partner Banks may decline your application to open a Savings Account following their completion of such checks.

2.25. We will send you details of how to fund any Savings Accounts opened through your Raisin UK Account within the Funding Window, and explain what information is required, with an acknowledgement of receipt of your application for the Savings Account(s).

2.26.

You will first need to send funds from your Nominated Account to your Transaction Account.

2.27. If your application to open a Savings Account if successful, you will need to make a transfer from your Transaction Account to a Partner Bank (or to the Trustee who will then make a deposit in a Savings Account with the Partner Bank as bare trustee on your behalf). You can, via the Platform, instruct the Service Bank to transfer the confirmed deposit amount from your Transaction Account to your Savings Account at the Partner Bank (or the Trustee, if appropriate), once the required funds are held in your Transaction Account. Please note these instructions cannot be withdrawn. The Trustee works as a deposit administrator for some of our Partner Banks and will, as required, provide administration services in order to execute your instructions. If the Trustee deposits funds with a Partner Bank on your behalf, this may be in a pooled account with other customers’ funds.

2.28. If a Partner Bank is in the UK, your funds are likely to be protected under the FSCS, even if you invested through the Trustee as bare trustee. If a Partner Bank is abroad, we will explain whether a different deposit guarantee scheme applies instead.

• 9.2.10 you no longer have a UK mobile phone number; or
• 9.2.11. the person using the Raisin UK Account is not the account holder.

9.3. We can end our relationship with you, for any reason or without giving a reason, by telling you in writing. We will give you two months’ notice in writing unless there are exceptional reasons for us needing to terminate the relationship sooner (for example, in the circumstances set out in clause 9.2 or where we are no longer appropriately authorised to hold your Account).

9.4. If you have no active savings products in any Savings Accounts, you may, by giving us thirty (30) calendar days’ notice, close your Raisin UK Account by instructing us (via your Raisin UK Account) to close your Raisin UK Account and as a consequence instructing the Service Bank to transfer any Cleared Funds from your Transaction Account to your Nominated Account in accordance with clause 5. However, you cannot close your Raisin UK Account before the expiry of the fixed term for all savings held in your Savings Accounts or the expiry of the relevant notice period in respect of any notice accounts. We may, however, agree to allow you to close your Raisin UK Account earlier in exceptional circumstances, for example where you have died, been diagnosed with a terminal illness or have been declared bankrupt. During the thirty (30) calendar day notice period, you should download and save any statements, contracts and/or other content in your Raisin UK Account as these will not be available to you to access once your Raisin UK Account has closed.

9.5. Where your Raisin UK Account is closed as a result of any of the circumstances arising in clauses 9.2 to 9.3, if you have any active Savings Accounts with Partner Banks, they will be governed by the Partner Bank’s terms and conditions and we or one of our partners will communicate to you if and how the Savings Account(s) will be serviced following the closure of your Raisin UK Account.

9.6. Where your Raisin UK Account is closed as a result of any of the circumstances arising in clauses 9.2 to 9.3, prior to the closure of your Raisin UK Account we will also arrange for any Cleared Funds in your Transaction Account to be returned to your Nominated Account.

10.1. You must take all reasonable precautions to prevent misuse of your Raisin UK Account and to safeguard your customer security details. Do not disclose the details of the security procedures, password, PIN or other security codes relating to your Raisin UK Account to anyone else.

10.2. Do not store your customer security details in any way that can be understood by someone else. Any security related device must be kept physically secure, which includes making sure that customer security details are not kept in any form (including browser or any other software) in such a way that anyone using the same device can go through the security procedures using stored details.

10.3. If your customer security details are lost or stolen or you think someone knows them or has used or tried to use them please tell us immediately by contacting 0161 388 2399 or email service@raisin.co.uk. If we suspect that your Raisin UK Account has been compromised we will contact you by phone and take you through our security procedure.

10.4. We will do all that we reasonably can to prevent a breach of security resulting in unauthorised access to your Raisin UK Account and the information that we hold about you. For clarity, the Service Bank may be liable to you in certain circumstances when payments from or to your Transaction Account have gone wrong. Where the Service Bank would usually be liable to you but the fault is ours, we may be liable to you instead. In these cases, we will be liable only to the extent required by applicable laws.

11.3 Assigning your rights or obligations: You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you may have under these Terms to any other person without our prior written consent.

11.4. Enforceability: Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce them later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

11.5. Severability: Each of the sections of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections will remain in full force and effect.

11.6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of these Terms in the English or Welsh courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of these Terms in either the Scottish or the English courts.
