I’ve chosen to reinvest
You should expect to receive a Certificate of Deposit.
If you've decided to let your Fixed Term Savings Account automatically reinvest, we will send you a Certificate of Deposit with all the details within 14 days of new term start date.
This is what will happen next:
- You can still make changes after your account matures, such as topping up your savings. You can do this online, in your mobile app, over the phone or in any branch. You have up to the ‘Last date to make payments or withdrawals’ detailed in the ‘How do I manage my account’ section of the information sheet we send you.
- We’ll send you a new Certificate of Deposit via your secure inbox in your mobile app or Online Banking, or by post within 14 days of new term start date.
- Your account number and sort code will stay the same.
- We’ll continue to pay your interest into the account you chose previously, monthly.
I don’t want to reinvest
You can decide to opt-out.
If you don’t want to reinvest straight away, it’s easy to opt-out. Just complete the Opt-Out form in your maturity pack and send it back to us at least five days before the maturity date of your Fixed Term Savings Account.
You can also let us know you want to opt out of reinvesting at any point in the six months before your account matures by visiting us in branch or calling 03457 888 444 (Relay UK 18001 03457 888 444)*
Once you've opted out, we’ll convert your Fixed Term Savings Account into an instant access savings account on the day after it matures and pay any outstanding interest into the account you chose previously.
