Interest is paid on a tiered basis from the date you open your account until the Maturity Date. This means you’ll earn one rate on your entire account balance. Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of every month and on the Maturity Date. You can choose to have interest paid into a Nominated Account. This must be a NatWest personal current or savings account with instant access (other than a cash ISA) held in your name at the same branch as your Fixed Term Savings Account. If interest is paid into your Nominated Account, you can access it the following day. |
2. Can NatWest change the interest rate?
No, the interest rate is fixed. This means that the rate will not change between the date you open your account and the Maturity Date.
3. What would the estimated balance be at maturity based on a range of deposits?
| Deposit at fixed term start date | Balance at maturity | Interest earned | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year issue 098 | £1,000 £50,000 |
£1,009.04 £50,477.07 |
£9.04 £477.07 |
| 2 year issue 099 | £1,000 £50,000 |
£1,020.19 £51,060.63 |
£20.19 £1060.63 |
These are only examples and do not take into account your individual circumstances. The examples assume that interest is paid into your Fixed Term Savings Account.

5. Can I withdraw money?
You can withdraw money (in branch, online or by calling telephone banking) until 3.30pm on the last date to make payments or withdrawals. Partial withdrawals are not permitted after this time. If you want to make a withdrawal after this time and before the Maturity Date, you must close your account by giving 35 days’ written notice to your branch. An Early Closure Charge will be deducted from the balance of your account, except in the event of your non-voluntary redundancy or death. The Early Closure Charge will be the lower of the amount of interest earned on your account or 90 days’ interest. The total amount you receive (including interest earned on your balance) will be no less than your deposit at the Fixed Term Start Date. For example, if you have earned 50 days’ interest you will only be charged an Early Closure Charge equivalent to 50 days’ interest. If you have earned 100 days’ interest you will only be charge an Early Closure Charge equivalent to 90 days’ interest. The Early Closure Charge will be deducted from the balance of your Fixed Term Savings Account.
