What is the interest rate?

Can Coutts change the interest rate?

Yes, we may change the rate up or down. There could be a few reasons for this, such as changes to the Bank of England base rate, or to reflect changes in the costs we reasonably incur for providing your account.

If the rate goes down, we will give you notice of at least 49 days for 35 day, 74 for 60 day, or 109 days for 95 day.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a range of deposits?

  • no further deposits or withdrawals are made
  • any interest earned stays in the account
  • there is no change to interest rates and tiers.
