What is the interest rate?
Balance:
£1+
Annual interest:
2.05% gross pa/AER
Monthly interest:
2.03% gross / 2.05% AER
- This account earns interest daily and it can be added to the account either annually or monthly.
- If you choose annual interest, it’s added to the account the day before the anniversary of account opening.
- If you choose monthly interest, it’s added to the account the day before the same date in the month the account was opened. For example, if the account was opened on the 30th of the month, monthly interest would be added on the 29th. If there’s no such date, it will be added on the last day of the month.
- If you ask us to pay interest to a different account, we’ll pay it on the first business day after we’d have added it to this account. Business days exclude Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays. Interest due in the first three days of the new tax year may arrive up to three business days later.
Can Skipton Building Society change the interest rate?
- Yes, the interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down.
- Section 8 of our Savings Account Terms and Conditions [PDF] explains why we may change the interest rate.
- If there is at least £100 in the account, we'll notify you in advance if we intend to reduce the interest rate.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?
Opening balance:

The estimated balance above assumes that:
- the account is opened with £1,000 and starts earning interest straight away.
- no further deposits or withdrawals are made.
- the interest is paid annually.
- the interest is added to this account.
- there is no change to the interest rates stated.
Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only. They may be less for accounts opened by debit card or cheque, because interest won’t be earned until the account receives the deposit.
