Interest rates

  • When we show the interest rate as an AER, it stands for Annual Equivalent Rate
  • This is what the interest rate would be if it was paid once a year
  • 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
