Disclaimer: For ISA products – the “Tax-free PA” is the annual rate of interest. Cash ISAs are not subject to the deduction of tax on savings income under current legislation. The annual equivalent rate (AER) is a notional rate which illustrates what the gross interest rate would be if the interest was paid and added to the account annually. For non-ISA products – the gross rate (PA) is the rate before deducting tax at the rate applicable to savings income. The annual equivalent rate (AER) is a notional rate which illustrates what the gross interest rate would be if the interest was paid and added to the account annually. Your tax treatment will depend on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. The rate of interest payable on variable rate accounts may be subject to change in the future.

Account opening as a new customer was very quick and straightforward. Great savings interest on accounts compared to most banks or building societies.

It was much easier than I anticipated to open the Trust account and then register to manage this online. The application and accompanying documents were submitted via email and registration was managed online. There are a limited a number of banks and societies offering these products and services and Harpenden Building Society made it a stress-free process.
