In detail: Savings Builder

What is the interest rate?

Interest is paid on the above tiers on a stepped basis which means you’ll earn a different rate on each portion of your balance within the above tiers. For example, if you hold £11,000 in your account, and you have satisfied the regular saving condition, your interest rates for that monthly period will be: 5.25% on anything between £1 and £10,000 and 2.15% on anything over £10,000. You can find details of the regular saving condition in the Additional information section. Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the month and at account closure. You’ll be able to see and access the interest in your account on the following day.

Can Isle of Man Bank change the interest rate?

Yes, these rates are variable. They may be changed for any of the reasons set out in Term 10.3 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees, e.g. to take account of Bank of England base rate changes or changes in the rates paid by other banks. If the rates are going down we’ll give you at least 60 days’ notice. If they are going up, we’ll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. Term 10.4 contains details of the notice we’ll give you.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months?
