For when choosing the right account gets too tough.

An account offering annual or monthly interest and access subject to 60 days' notice or loss of interest.

2.25%

gross pa/AER variable

on £1 & above

Withdrawal restrictions apply

Key Features

  • Minimum account opening balance £1
  • Save from £1 to £2,000,000 per saver (maximum of 2 savers are permitted)
  • Interest paid annually on 1 June. Monthly interest option available.
  • Withdrawals allowed subject to 60 days' notice or immediately with 60 days' loss of interest
  • Passbook operated.


Gross rate is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted. It can only be paid subject to the required registration.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. This will enable you to compare more easily the return you can expect from your savings over time.

† If a withdrawal is made without notice an equivalent of 60 days' loss of interest on the amount withdrawn will be applied. If the interest accrued on the date of withdrawal is insufficient to meet the loss of interest, this will be deducted from the account balance. This means that you would not get back the original money deposited. Please bear this in mind when requesting or making a withdrawal without prior notice.

 

Terms

The product terms should be read with the Standard Terms and Conditions (Standard Terms). Together the Product Terms and Standard Terms explain how your account works.

It is important that you read all the terms applicable before you decide whether to open this account.

1. General
  1. The terms that apply to Chelsea 60 Day Notice Account are these product terms and our savings account standard terms ('standard terms'). If there is any conflict between the product terms and the standard terms then the product terms apply.
  2. This account is not a Payment Account.
  3. If we make any changes to these product terms or our standard terms we will notify you in accordance with condition 6.6 of our standard terms.
2. Deposit (minimum and maximum limits)
  1. The minimum opening and operating balance is £1.
  2. The maximum balance is £2,000,000. Two savers per account are permitted.
  3. Only one Chelsea 60 Day Notice Account per saver.
3. Interest
  1. The interest rate is variable and we can change the interest rate if any of the circumstances set out in our standard terms, permitting us to vary the interest rate, occurs. We will notify you of any interest rate variation in accordance with conditions 3.5/3.6 of our standard terms
  2. We reserve the right to introduce a tiered interest rate structure or withdraw it and revert back to a single interest rate structure.
  3. Annual interest is payable on 1 June.
  4. If you have chosen to receive interest monthly then interest will first be paid on the last day of the month in which your account is opened and then subsequently on the last day of each following month. Monthly interest will be calculated by reference to the actual days in the month. The gross interest rate for the monthly interest option will be calculated at a rate which if added to the account each month would produce a rate so near as may be equivalent to the gross annual rate.
  5. Interest can be either:
    • added to the account or
    • transferred to another Chelsea account or
    • transferred to your nominated bank or building society account
    4. Withdrawals/transfers
    1. Withdrawals or transfers can be made without any loss of interest if 60 days prior notice is given to us in writing. If the required notice is not given 60 days loss of interest on the amount withdrawn will be applied. This is calculated at the gross rate prevailing at the date the withdrawal/transfer is made. If the loss of interest exceeds the total interest earned in the relevant period then the loss of interest will be deducted from the account balance.
    2. Withdrawals/transfers may not be made (wholly or in part) against the proceeds of any cheque, draft or other order credited to the account within the preceding five working days.
