Important Information
*Variable means the interest rate on your savings can change. The rate can go up and down. If it goes up, you earn more interest. If it goes down, you’ll earn less interest, but we’ll tell you before this happens. If you’d like to know more about what might happen to our variable interest rates when the Bank of England changes the Base Rate, head over to our Popular Questions page at www.tsb.co.uk/savings/
The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) shows what the interest would be if the interest was paid and added to the account once each year. It lets you compare savings accounts easily. Gross rate means that credit interest is paid without income tax being deducted. Tax-free is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
Tax-free means the interest paid will be free from UK Income Tax. The tax advantages depend on your individual circumstances and the tax treatment of your ISA may change in the future.
* Unless the child is diagnosed with a terminal illness and permission is given by HMRC to make withdrawals.
You need to be 16+ and UK resident to open most of our savings accounts with the exception of Savings Pots and TSB ISAs. For children under 16 please see specific pages for opening procedures.
