Minimum opening deposit £1	Tax Free Rate % p.a./AER
Annual interest	1.42

Correct as at 5 June 2009

Annual Equivalent Rate or AER illustrates what the interest rate would be if the interest was paid and added each year. Please note that every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER allowing you to compare at a glance what return you can expect from your savings over time.

AER - interest which is paid annually on 5 April is the same as the appropriate gross rate or tax free rate. For accounts where the interest is paid monthly the AER is shown.

Tax free rate is the stated contractual rate of interest as the interest is exempt from income tax.
