Range of Accounts
To provide you with maximum choice and flexibility, we offer a range
of products with varying terms and interest rates. Generally speaking,
the longer you can commit the money the better return you will receive.
Product
Overview
Our Notice Accounts offer the benefits
of a variable interest rate and access to your money at all times.
They operate on the basis that penalty-free withdrawals are available
by providing us with the required number of days’ written notice
of a withdrawal. Alternatively, funds can be withdrawn instantly by
incurring an interest penalty equivalent to the notice period on the
product. Interest is paid annually on the 31st December.
Our Fixed Rate Bonds are always popular
because they offer a fixed return no matter what happens to interest
rates during the term. This means that the return on your capital,
at maturity, is assured – you can make plans with certainty.
Because this is a fixed term contract withdrawals and additional investments
are not permitted during the term. However, additional Fixed Rate
Bonds can be opened subject to the prevailing investment limits. Interest
on Fixed Rate Bonds is paid on maturity.
Our Instant Quarterly Account is the perfect
solution if you require total access to your funds at all times
without sacrificing an excellent return.
All withdrawals are available on demand at any time. The
first withdrawal per calendar quarter is penalty-free. Subsequent
withdrawals in the same calendar quarter are available on demand
but will be subject to a penalty equivalent to 90 days’ interest.
Taxation
of Interest
The taxation of deposit interest varies according to (a) the type
of depositor and (b) the country of residence of the depositor(s)
for tax purposes.
Whilst our products quote a gross interest rate (the rate before
tax and the contractual rate) some depositors may be liable to
pay a retention tax or other alternative. These depositors will
receive their interest net of the retention tax. Alternatively,
if you are one of these depositors you can receive your interest
gross (no retention tax deducted) by either (a) instructing us
in writing to disclose, to the relevant tax authorities, your personal
details and the full amount of gross interest you have been paid
or (b) providing us with a tax exemption certificate issued by
the relevant tax authority.
Where required, you should make any necessary declarations of interest
received to the relevant tax authorities.
