Summary Box

Account name: Fixed Term Savings account

What is the interest rate?

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.

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.

What would the estimated balance be at maturity based on a range of deposits?

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.

How do I open and manage my account?

You must be aged 16 years or over and a UK resident to open an account

If you already have a current account with us you can open your account on our mobile app, online, in branch or by telephone.

We will need your email address and mobile number to open your account.

You can manage your account on our mobile app, online, in branch or by telephone.

Your balance at the Fixed Term Start Date must be at least £500 or it will be converted into an Instant Saver Account

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 charged 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.

Reinvestment of your Fixed Term Savings Account

At the Maturity Date we’ll automatically reinvest your deposit and any outstanding interest into a new Fixed Term Savings Account unless you tell us you want to opt out.

The interest rate for the new account may be higher or lower than the rate of interest which applied to your Fixed Term Savings Account when you took it out originally

If you choose not to reinvest, your account will be converted into an Instant Saver Account on the Maturity Date (or if the Maturity Date is not a business day, the next business day) and your money can be accessed on the following day.

Please see Term 7 of the Fixed Term Savings Account Terms and the Information Sheet for more information.
