How do I open a Classic Gold Savings Account?
This account is specifically for personal savers and is not available for business use.
Net rates assume the lower rate of income tax of 20%. These figures are rounded and are for illustrative purposes only.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if the interest was paid and compounded each year.
GROSS: The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest before the deduction of tax at the appropriate rate specified by law. Interest will be paid gross to non-taxpayers subject to the required HM Revenue and Customs certification (R85).
