Summary Box

Account name 16 Month Fixed Rate Limited Access Branch Bond Issue 194
What is the interest rate?
Annual Interest 2.90% gross pa/AER
Interest is earned daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening and on maturity.
Monthly Interest: No monthly interest option available.
Can Skipton Building Society change the interest rate? The interest rate is fixed for the term of this account.
What would the estimated balance be at the end of the fixed term based on a £1,000 deposit? The estimated balance at the end of the fixed term would be £1,038 based on the following assumptions:
  • £1,000 is paid in when the account is opened and interest starts being earned straight away
  • No further deposits or any withdrawals are made
  • The interest is paid annually and on maturity and added to the account
Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only and may be less for accounts opened by debit card or cheque.
How do I open and manage my account?
  • This account is available to UK residents aged 16 or over and can only be opened and managed in any of our branches, by post or by phone (a working email address is required when opening by phone).
  • You can pay into this account until 02/08/2023. After this, your account will be closed to further deposits. If we don't receive your first payment in before this date, the account will not be open.
  • You can save from £500 up to £1 million per account.
  • Joint accounts are allowed.
Can I withdraw money?
  • You can withdraw by phone (if you have set up telephone access), by post or in branch. You don’t need to give us notice and there are no penalties.
  • Prior to 03/08/2023, you will not be able to make any withdrawals. From 03/08/2023, subject to the minimum operating balance of £500, you can make multiple withdrawals up to a combined total of 50% of the balance as at midnight on 02/08/2023.
  • You can’t withdraw the remaining 50% of your money until the end of the fixed term, which is also known as ‘maturity’.
  • At maturity, your account will automatically transfer into a variable rate easy access account, unless you tell us otherwise.
  • We’ll contact you before maturity and you can find out more about the maturity process in condition 8 of the further terms and conditions.
Additional information
  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
  • We pay all savings interest gross, which means no tax is deducted. It's your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in the future.
  • Accounts can be withdrawn from sale at any time and without notice.
