* Gross is the taxable rate of interest payable without the deduction of UK Income Tax.

** AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) enables you to compare interest rates from different financial institutions on a like-for-like basis. It shows what the notional annual rate would be if interest was compounded each time it was credited or paid out. Where interest is credited once a year the rate quoted at the AER will be the same.

 These interest rate tiers have now been combined into one tier.
