Investec: 12 months Fixed Term Deposit

What is the interest rate?

4.28% Gross^ / AER* Interest is calculated daily on the full closing balance in the Fixed Deposit. Interest will be paid in full at the end of the Fixed Term period.

Can Investec 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 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 £1000 deposit?

At current interest rates: A deposit of £1,000.00 would earn £42.80 after 12 months, for a final balance of £1,042.80. A deposit of £5,000.00 would earn £214.00 after 12 months, for a final balance of £5,214.00. These are illustrative examples and are not based on your individual circumstances.You are required to keep the full amount deposited in the account until the end of the agreed fixed term.

Funds will appear in Raisin Trust's account by the following business day from funding your application at the latest. Funds will be remitted to Investec by Raisin Trust on the next business day after arriving in the Raisin Trust account.

  • 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
