Common definitions

Annual Equivalent Rate (AER). This is a notional rate used for interest bearing accounts which illustrates what the gross credit interest rate would be if paid and compounded on an annual basis. It helps you to compare the effective rates of credit interest on different accounts.

Gross Rate. This means the interest rate you are paid before the deduction of income tax.

Net Rate. This means the interest rate you are paid after the deduction of income tax.

Important information

You can download terms and conditions for NatWest current accounts and savings accounts and information on fees and charges as PDFs.

We sometimes allow savings accounts to be operated in a way which enables the customer to give instructions for a withdrawal or other payment which cannot be met from the funds in the account. If this happens, we may apply charges to the account. Please read our leaflet Personal and Private Banking - A Guide to Fees and Interest which contains details of these charges.
