Can HTB change the interest rate?
- This is a managed variable rate, which means it is set by us and we can change it at any time.
- If we increase the interest rate, we’ll make the change and let you know.
- If we reduce the interest rate, we’ll let you know at least 14 days before.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £5,000 deposit?
- £5,000 invested in this account would earn £5.00 interest after 12 months.
- This is for illustrative purposes only and assumes interest is paid and compounded annually. The illustrative example does not consider the individual circumstances of a customer.
