Summary Box for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation Community Account

Account Name Rosemere Cancer Foundation Community Account (Issue 2)
What is the interest rate?

The current interest rate is: 2.00% Gross / 2.00% AER

Interest is variable, calculated on a daily basis and is paid annually on 31 December.

Interest can be added to your Furness Community Account, paid to another suitable Furness account or an external bank/building society account.

Can Furness Building Society change the interest rate?

As the interest rate is variable, we may change the rate if we reasonably believe that the change is needed.

If we reduce the rate we will tell you no less than 14 days before we make the change.

For full details on how and why we will change the interest rate on your account, please refer to Section 7 of the General Investment Terms and Conditions.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,020.00.

This figure is for illustration purposes and is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in interest rate within the 12 month period.

You must read the General Investment Terms and Conditions and Other Important Information leaflet to ensure you fully understand how your account works and your responsibilities as an account holder.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest is paid and added to your account each year. From 6 April 2016, if the total Savings interest you receive in a tax year is more than any Personal Savings Allowance that applies to you, you may have to pay tax on it. You will need to do this directly with HMRC, as Banks and Building Societies no longer deduct tax from your account interest. From 6 April 2016, if you’re a basic rate tax payer you’ll be able to earn up to £1,000 in savings income, tax free. Higher rate tax payers will be able to earn up to £500. Additional rate tax payers will not receive any savings interest tax allowance.
