What is the interest rate?

AER Gross Variable Gross Variable Annual Gross Variable Monthly
4.65% 4.65% 4.55%
  • If you were to choose monthly interest payments, you will receive 4.55% gross variable. As this interest is being compounded, over the 12 months this will equate to 4.65% AER gross variable.
  • The above rate is effective from 14 August 2024.
  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded on an annual basis.
  • This allows customers to compare interest rates across different products paid at different intervals e.g. monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually. 
  • Interest is calculated daily and can be paid monthly or annually, the date we pay your interest is linked to the date we receive your initial qualifying deposit
  • Interest is paid on a gross basis meaning without tax being deducted.

Can RCI Bank change the interest rate?

  • Yes. The interest rate is variable, and we can change the rate of interest on existing accounts by giving you at least 28 days’ notice, usually by email. We can change the rate for a new account applications at any time.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

  • After 12 months your estimated balance would be £1,046.50
    • This based on £1,000 being deposited for 12 months at the current rate, with no withdrawals being made during this time
  • This is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account your individual circumstances
