*Outside an ISA - minimum deposit GBP500, maximum GBP1 million.
**AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the rate of
interest would be if interest is paid and compounded once a year. Gross means
the rate of interest before the deduction of tax applicable to interest on
savings. Tax-free means the rate of interest where interest is exempt from
income tax. Net means the rate of interest after the deduction of tax
applicable to interest on savings. For illustrative purposes only this is
based on the basic rate of tax, currently 20%. Interest added annually.
