Notice 30 (POS30)

Notice 30.

Interest is variable, calculated on a daily basis and is paid annually on 31 August.

If you have £10,000 or more to invest you can choose to have the interest paid monthly to another bank, building society or another Hanley Economic savings account.

†Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year, and has been rounded to two decimal places.

As the interest rate is variable, we may change the rate if we reasonably believe that the change is needed. If we reduce the interest on your account, we will write to you 14 days before we make the change. For full details on how and why we will change the interest rate on your account, please refer to Section 8 of the Savings Terms and Conditions.

Based on the current interest rate, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,014.50. This figure is for illustration purposes and is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in interest rates within the 12 month period.

To open an account you must be permanently resident in the UK. Simply call into your local branch and complete an application form.

You will need to provide some identification when you open your account, details of our requirements can be obtained from the “Before you apply section” on this page, your local branch or by calling 01782 255000.

If you are already a Hanley Member, in most cases, this will not be necessary.

When you open your account, you will receive a passbook.

Minimum investment is £100 – maximum investment £50,000 if held in single or joint names. You can add to your account at any time subject to the maximum investment limit.

Once the account has been opened it can be managed either in branch and/or via the post.

This account offers instant access providing the balance remains at £25,000 or above. 30 days loss of interest on the amount withdrawn or 30 days notice will be required if the account balance falls below £25,000.

You can withdraw up to £500 in cash and £70,000 by cheque on demand from our branches or by sending us your written instructions. Larger cash sums up to £5,000 are available by giving at least 24 hours notice.
