1AER – The AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and is the notional rate, which illustrates the gross rate as if paid and compounded on an annual basis. As every advert for a savings product will contain an AER, you’ll be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

2Gross Rate – Gross rate means that no tax will be automatically deducted from interest on your behalf. You are responsible for paying any tax due to HM Revenue and Customs.

  • Yes. The interest rate is a managed rate set by Bank of Scotland and is subject to change.

    If this change is not to your advantage, Bank of Scotland will give you 14 Days’ notice before it comes into effect.
