Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum age limit to open an Extra Saver account?
18 years old.
Is there a maximum limit?
The maximum amount you can have in an Extra Saver Account is £2,000,000
The maximum total amount you can have in all your accounts (whether in your name or held jointly) is £2,000,000.
How is interest paid?
We calculate interest daily and credit it to your account annually on the anniversary of account opening.
Why is my interest paid gross?
On 6 April 2016 the Government introduced a Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) which enables individuals to earn interest on their savings tax free, up to a certain allowance. The allowance depends on the individual’s income: basic rate tax payers are able earn up to £1,000 in savings interest tax free and higher rate tax payers will be able to earn £500 tax free. Additional rate tax payers will not have a Personal Savings Allowance. As a result of this change, from 6 April 2016 all banks, including Sainsbury’s Bank, will start paying savings interest gross, with no tax deducted.
How do I make a payment into my account?
There are three ways to pay into your account:
- Bank transfer
- Standing order
- Cheque
There’s more information about this in 'How to pay in'.
What happens if I switch my account which is also my nominated account?
If we’re notified by another bank that you’re using the Current Account Switch Service, we’ll write to you and ask you to call us to confirm that these instructions are correct. Once you’ve done that we’ll update your nominated account details on our online banking service.
How do I withdraw money?
You can only send money to a current account in your name, you can’t make payments to a third party.
When you first set up a new payment mandate a check is done in the background to make sure the account is in your name. If we can’t confirm this, you’ll get a message telling you our validation check has failed, if this happens please try an alternative current account in your name. If you still want the payment to go to the account that’s failed then you’ll need to send us an original statement for that account along with what you’d like the payment reference to be. Once we have the information, we’ll set up your payment mandate and you’ll be able to make a payment within 2 working days.
To prevent any delays in getting money transferred to you when you need it in the future we suggest that you set up a payment mandate when you open the account.
Is there a limit on the number of withdrawals?
No. You can make as many withdrawals as you like.
