Deposits
We offer instant access, notice, and fixed-term accounts for commercial clients; our fixed term deposit product offers a highly competitive rate which is fixed for the term.
All products have minimum deposits and interest is paid at maturity.
To find out more about our liquidity management solutions, please fill in our contact form below. For deposits of more than £1m GBP, or equivalent, please speak to your relationship manager or contact us here.
Fixed term deposit accounts offer an agreed interest rate over specified term. This option works well if you are looking to save a lump sum for a fixed period, typically between six months and two years. You know from the outset how much interest you’ll earn and when you will receive it. You cannot access your savings during the term of the fixed term deposit, but there are different options available to you on maturity.
