Aldermore Bank Plc: 12 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the interest rate?

4.35% AER / Gross AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the interest rate would be if interest was realised and paid once each year. Interest is calculated daily and is payable on maturity. Interest will be paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Can Aldermore Bank Plc change the interest rate?

The interest rate applicable to your savings account is fixed once your application is approved and you fund your account. The rate will stay the same throughout the duration of the fixed term. Should the bank amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred your funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, we will automatically cancel your order. We will contact you if this occurs.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £5000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 12 months on a deposit of £5000 is £5,217.50. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

  • It helps you compare different accounts, by showing you how much you would earn on your savings if the accounts were held for the same amount of time
  • The rates offered by our bank partners can change at any time
  • When you apply you'll get the rate that's in effect at the point your account is set up, so it's important to transfer money into Aviva Save as soon as possible after you apply
