Savings terms explained
Tax-free variable
This is the rate of interest payable to you where your interest is exempt from income tax.
AER
This stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. Whenever you see an advert for a savings account which shows an interest rate, you will see the AER. This means you can use the AER to compare accounts. It shows what the interest rate would be if your interest was paid and compounded once each year.
