What is Instant Access?

Instant access savings accounts allow you to withdraw your money whenever you need it.

What are Notice Accounts?

Notice accounts enable you to earn better rates of interest than on instant access accounts without tying your funds up for longer periods of time. The rate can be varied however you will be given notice before any change is introduced and you have the option to give notice to close your account before the rate is changed if you wish to.

It is important that you only invest money that you won’t need access to straight away as the 95 Days notice must be given before the funds can be withdrawn.

What are Fixed Rate Accounts?

Fixed rate savings allow you to fix your interest rate for a set period of time, and it will not be changed. By contrast, instant access savings account rates are variable and can be changed, e.g. to take account of Bank of England base rate changes, or changes in rates paid by other banks.

Fixed rate accounts offer guarantees over what interest you’ll earn over a ‘term’. This is the set time period offered by the SNU Trust. At the Trust we offer terms of either 1 or 2 years.

It is important to note that you can end your term early and access your cash, any interest would then be calculated from the opening date to closure on the current Investment rate.
