What is the interest rate?

The interest you earn will depend on the amount you have saved over the course of the year. Interest rates are variable and subject to change.

Can Isle of Man Bank change the interest rate?

Yes, the rate is variable. We can change rates for any of the reasons set out in section 10.3 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees such as responding to a change in the Bank of England’s base rate.

If rates are going down, we’ll give you at least 60 days’ notice. If rates are going up, we’ll tell you before the change or at the earliest opportunity afterwards. For more details, please read section 10.4 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a range of deposits?

The amount you deposit into your account determines the interest you earn over the year. Refer to the table below for estimated interest.
