  • Yes. As this account pays a variable rate of interest the rate can change over time. The bank will take into account a number of factors in determining rates at any given time, for example we might review the interest rate if the Bank of England Bank Rate changes. We’ll always let you know of any planned changes to the rate. Our terms and conditions explain when and how we do this.
