NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, England, June 22, 2011 -
Northern Rock has added another helpful video guide to its
interactive savings website to help consumers with their savings
choices.
The video - Northern Rock’s Guide to Savings - is the third
guide in the series recently introduced by the bank to add a
further dimension to its award-winning website. Existing videos
include Northern Rock’s Guide to ISAs and First Time Buyers Guide,
which can be viewed on the Northern Rock website alongside the new
addition.
The newest guide is designed to help customers make the most of
their money in an accessible way, by highlighting the need to
consider debt and budgeting as well as the benefits of the wide
range of competitively priced savings products on offer at Northern
Rock.
The colourful video guide, which is also available via the
bank’s YouTube channel, covers key areas such as planning for
emergencies and saving for a rainy day.
Northern Rock offers a range of variable and fixed rate savings
products, including online savings accounts, instant-access
products and tax-free savings options. Northern Rock also offers
customers a free savings review.
Further detail about Northern Rock’s range of savings products
is available on the website, which is populated with useful advice
and information for different savings customer groups, financial
planning information and at-a-glance guides to help people choose
between different types of savings account.
The site also includes a range of interactive tools such as a
jargon buster and budget planner to help take the complexity out of
selecting the right savings product for a customer’s own individual
circumstances, and a product calculator for each of Northern Rock’s
products, such as a
calculator and a calculator for its Cash
out the estimated return on investment.
Northern Rock customers also benefit from the bank’s unique
savings promise. This is a commitment to its customers that it will
provide a minimum of two months’ written notice of any reduction to
the interest rate on their account. Where customers have a notice
period for access to their funds of greater than two months,
Northern Rock will give them that equivalent notice period of any
reduction to their interest rate. Northern Rock will also write to
all savings customers at least once a year with details of all its
available variable rate savings accounts. And it will give savings
customers a minimum of two months’ written notice of any changes to
the terms and conditions of their account.
