Business Savings product simplification and instant access rate change

We’re making changes to some of our business savings accounts to simplify the number of off sale accounts we have. These changes will come into effect from 21 July 2023.

All the new accounts will have a minimum balance to earn interest of £5,000. If your minimum balance to earn interest was £10,000, from 21 July 2023 it will be £5,000.

The interest rate on the Business Instant Saver Issue 11 will be increasing to 1.50% (annual), 1.46%/1.45% AER/gross p.a. (monthly).

Please see below to find out what your new account will be.
