On or after this date you may be offered a lower rate. However, if we increase the rate on the Maturity Britannia Fixed Rate Bond you have chosen between your letter being sent and your maturity date, you will automatically receive the higher rate.

If you have been offered higher rates in your maturity pack, we promise to honour those rates as long as we receive your reinvestment instructions before your maturity date. If more than one month has passed since your Britannia Fixed Rate Bond matured, you cannot reinvest in a Maturity Britannia Fixed Rate Bond. However, you may be able to apply for a Britannia Fixed Rate Bond. Customers must provide their instructions to reinvest within a month of maturity if they wish to reinvest into a Maturity Britannia Fixed Rate Bond.
To reinvest, you need to be:

What is the difference between receiving interest monthly or annually?
In one sense, it is a choice between receiving your interest on a month-by-month basis or at the end of a 12 month period. However, for monthly interest, there may also be a difference between the gross and AER percentage of a product. This is because, if that interest had been left in your savings account, the interest you accrued will also then gain interest. When that interest is paid out monthly to another account, it cannot gain interest. AER takes this into account. Gross does not.
Annual Equivalent Rate
Stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
Gross
The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax).
