1.50% Gross PA / AER* Interest is calculated on a daily basis and added to your account annually on 31st December. |
| Can Harpenden Building Society change the interest rate? |
Yes, we have the right to vary the rate of interest. If we decrease the interest rate, we will notify you 30 days in advance of the change. Please refer to Condition 7 of our General Terms and Conditions for Retail Savings Accounts (available in our branches and our website) which sets out the reasons for which we may change the rate and the procedure for doing so. |
| What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? |
The estimated balance after 12 months based on an initial deposit of £1,000 would be £1,015.00. This projection is provided as an example only and doesn’t take into account your individual circumstances. We have worked this out assuming a £1,000 deposit is made on account opening and no further deposits or withdrawals are made throughout the year. |

You will not be permitted to reduce the balance in your account to less than the minimum balance, unless you are closing the account.

| Additional information |
Interest is paid gross without tax deducted. Some savers may be required to pay tax on their savings interest - this should be arranged directly with HMRC through your tax return. Your tax treatment will depend on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. The Society reserves the right to withdraw this product without notice at any time. |
* The gross rate (PA) is the rate before deducting tax at the rate applicable to savings income. The annual equivalent rate (AER) is a notional rate which illustrates what the gross interest rate would be if the interest was paid and added to the account annually
