*Gross stands for contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law

**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

*** Credit Interest will be earned each month when a minimum monthly lodgement(s) of £1,200 is made. No credit interest is paid on balances over £1,200.

All rates are variable (can change from time to time).

Subject to certain exceptions, interest will be paid net after deduction of tax at the basic rate under current legislation. If you are a higher rate taxpayer you may have additional tax to pay.

All lending facilities (including regulated Consumer Credit agreements) with a rate of interest linked to First Trust Bank base rate will be varied accordingly when base rate moves.

# Effective from 14 September 2009.
