2.30% Gross PA / AER*. (This rate will reduce to 2.05% effective from 26th November 2024). Interest is calculated on a daily basis and added to your account annually on 31st December. |
| Can Harpenden Building Society change the interest rate? |
Yes, we have the right to vary the rate of interest. If we decrease the interest rate, we will notify you 14 days in advance of the change. Please refer to Condition 7 of our General Terms and Conditions for Business Deposit Savings Accounts (available in our branches and our website) which sets out the reasons for which we may change the rate and the procedure for doing so. |
| What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £10,000 deposit? |
The estimated balance after 12 months based on an initial deposit of £10,000 at the new 2.05% rate of interest would be £10,205.00. This projection is provided as an example only and doesn’t take into account your individual circumstances. We have worked this out assuming a £10,000 deposit is made on account opening and no further deposits or withdrawals are made throughout the year. |
