** Annual periods commence on the first business day in January and end on the last business day in December. Withdrawals on a non-business day (weekend or bank holiday) are recorded as withdrawals on the subsequent business day. This means that if, for example, you make a withdrawal from your Loyalty Saver account on Saturday 31 December 2011 this will be recorded as a withdrawal on Tuesday 3 January 2012, thereby potentially impacting your interest payment in 2012 not 2011
Gross is interest rate paid before the deduction of tax.
Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) illustrates what the interest rate would be if paid and compounded each year.
