Can Hinckley & Rugby Building Society change the interest rate?

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.

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

Based on an initial deposit of £1,000.00, after a 12 month period the estimated balance would be £1,041.50.
