This is an example based on a deposit of £1,000 made on account opening for the term of the bond.
The bond is available to Trustees, acting for the benefit of the Trust, aged 18 years and above, resident in Northern Ireland only.
Personal details are required for all Trustees and named Beneficiaries.
Please note that all Trustees and Beneficiaries must be UK citizens and resident for tax purposes only in the UK.
The original or certified copy of the Trust Deed must be provided.
There is a minimum lodgement of £500 required to open a bond.
The maximum balance for the account is £1 million.
The account can be opened and operated at any of the Society’s branches, agencies or by post.
Withdrawals and early closure of the bond are not allowed.
We will write to the Trustees at least 14 days before the maturity date in order to advise of the options available for the closing balance of the bond.
If we do not receive written instructions from the Trustees, the quoted fixed rate of interest will cease to apply on the date of maturity and the balance of
the bond will be rolled over into a new Trust - Fixed Rate Bond with a similar term and at the interest rate prevailing at that time.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. This will enable the Trustees to compare more easily the return they can expect from the savings over time.
Gross rate quoted is the taxable rate of interest without deduction of income tax.
We reserve the right not to renew the bond at the end of the fixed term, but will give 30 days’ notice before the bond maturity date should we intend to
exercise this right.
The interest rate is correct as of 1st December 2024.
