What is the interest rate?
  • 2.60% AER / 2.60% Gross - Annual Interest
  • 2.60% AER / 2.57% Gross - Monthly Interest
  • You can choose to have your interest paid annually or monthly.
  • Interest is variable and calculated on a daily basis on the balance in the account.
  • Annual interest is paid following close of business on March 31st each year.
  • Monthly interest is paid following the close of business on the last working day of each calendar month and cannot be added to the account.
  • If the account falls below the minimum balance of £1,000, you will receive an interest rate of 0.00% AER/Gross, until the account is returned to the minimum balance.
Can Monmouthshire Building Society change the interest rate? 
  • Yes - the interest rate is variable, which means the interest rate can go up or down.
  • In line with our General Terms & Conditions for Savings Accounts (6.9-6.11) we may change the interest rate at any time if we reasonably believe the change is needed.
  • If we increase the interest rate, we will display this information in our branch/agency offices and on our website.
  • If we decrease the interest rate we will notify you by sending you a letter, email or other personal notice 30 days in advance of the change.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

  • £1,026.00.
  • We have worked this out assuming a £1,000 deposit is made, no further deposits or withdrawals are made during a 12 month period, the interest rate stays the same and is paid into the account.
  • This projection is for illustrative purposes based on the annual interest option being selected and will depend on the individual circumstances of each customer.
