The bonus rate is fixed during the 12 month offer period. The standard rate is variable and may go up or down. There are a few reasons for this, such as a change in the Bank of England base rate. If the rates are going down and your balance is £100 or more, we'll give you at least 14 days' notice. If the rates are going down and your balance is less than £100, we'll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. If the rates are going up, we'll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. You can find a full list of reasons for an interest rate change and more detail about how we’d tell you about a change in the Instant Access Savings Account Terms (PDF, 409 KB).
