Fixed Rate Saver

Make the most of your savings

Our Fixed Rate Saver offers you a fixed rate of interest for 1 - 5 years, so you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing exactly what return you'll get on your money.

Important Information

The tax treatment or rate of interest payable depends on the individual circumstances of each customer and may be subject to change in the future.

How is your interest paid

Interest is calculated daily and either paid monthly to your nominated account on the monthly anniversary of the account opening (if this date falls on a weekend, then the next business day) or paid annually on the anniversary of the date when the account was opened. Interest is paid gross, there is no income tax deducted.

Access to your money

No withdrawals or additional deposits are allowed once your Fixed Rate Saver is open and early closure is not permitted.

What happens at maturity?

We will write to let you know that your Fixed Rate Saver is maturing, you'll then be given the choice to either:

• Re-invest into another Fixed Rate Saver (if one is available at that time)
• Transfer your funds into your nominated account or to another Sainsbury's Bank savings account. If you choose to send your payment by the BACS service, which is free, your account will be debited immediately and the funds will take up to 3 business days to arrive, which means you could potentially lose up to 3 days interest on those funds.
• Transfer some of your maturing Fixed Rate Saver into your nominated account and some to a new Fixed Rate Saver (if one is available)

If we do not hear from you by maturity we will automatically transfer your maturing Fixed Rate Saver into a Sainsbury’s Bank Reserve Account, and we will let you know the interest rate on this account.

Easy to manage

You can use our secure Telephone service or Online Banking service to check your balance and transactions or you can contact us.

Protection against money laundering

Fixed Rate Saver Account conditions

1. Your Fixed Rate Saver will be opened on your account opening date.
2. Interest is fixed on the account opening date. Interest starts to accrue once cleared funds are paid into your Fixed Rate Saver until the end of the term. If you make your deposit into the account after the account opening date, you will receive interest from the date of deposit until the end of the term and not from account opening date. The term over which you actually receive interest may therefore be shorter than the full term of the product.
3. You must fund your account within 30 days of account opening. If you do not fund your Fixed Rate Saver we will close your Fixed Rate Saver after 30 days.
4. You may only close your Fixed Rate Saver on its maturity date.

Gross interest is the interest rate paid with out the deduction of income tax. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if paid and compounded once each year.
