Interest is calculated daily. It can either be paid to you annually or monthly. Once you've chosen this you can't change your mind during the term.
Annual interest
If you choose annual interest, you'll receive it on the first business day after each anniversary. Annual interest can either be paid into this account or another account of your choice - either with us or another provider.
Monthly interest
If you choose monthly interest, you'll receive it on the first business day of the following month. For example, you'd receive January's interest on the first business day in February. Monthly interest will be paid to another account of your choice - either with us or another provider. Your final month's payment will be added to this account.
