Example:To provide you with an example of how the Access 50 account works; if your balance is £15,000 and you wish to withdraw £6,000, unless you provide 50 days' notice, you will forfeit 50 days' interest on £1,000 (this being the amount by which your balance falls below the £10,000 instant access limit.  Further withdrawals from your account with its updated balance of £9,000 would then require 50 days notice or 50 days loss of interest on the amount withdrawn).

Notes

  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
  • Gross is the interest paid before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
  • Net is the interest paid after the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
  • Interest will be payable net of income tax at the rate required by law. Tax may be reclaimed from HM Revenue & Customs where the amount deducted exceeds an investor's liability to tax (if any). Individuals who are liable at the higher rate of income tax of 40% will have to pay additional tax on the interest to cover the difference between the tax deducted and the higher rate of tax due.
  • If you are entitled to receive your interest gross, complete the HM Revenue & Customs form R85 in accordance with HM Revenue & Customs regulations and forward to your nearest Dudley Building Society branch.
  • The interest rate is variable and not linked to any of the Society's other savings rates.
  • This information should be read in conjunction with the account Terms and Conditions, Members Guide and the Interest Rate Guide.
