This account is suitable for Incorporated and Unincorporated Registered Charities, who are looking for a safe place for their money and are happy to give 120 days’ notice in order to withdraw from the account. Charities that choose to open this account can also access support and guidance from Hinckley & Rugby where they need it.
This account is not suitable for charities who are unable to maintain a balance of £1,000. It is also not suitable for charities who need to withdraw from their account with less than 120 days’ notice.
About this account
This account offers a variable rate of interest as follows:
| Minimum Balance | ANNUAL Gross* | INTEREST AER** |
| £1,000 | 4.60% | 4.60% |
Interest will be paid to the account on 1 December each year.
We may change interest rates at any time if we reasonably believe that the change is needed, for any of the reasons outlined in the Savings Account Terms and Conditions booklet, Condition 7.
Based on an initial deposit of £1,000.00, after a 12 month period the estimated balance would be £1,046.00.
These figures are provided for illustrative purposes only and assume that no further deposits or withdrawals are made and there is no change in interest rate. They do not take into account individual circumstances.
