Get access to your money
At the end of your fixed term when your account matures, you can withdraw your savings and interest, minus DIRT (Deposit Interest Retention Tax). You can access your money at any time should you need it, however an early withdrawal charge will apply.
If you change your mind, you can withdraw some or all of your account balance up to 14 calendar days from investment date, without charge.
If we don’t hear from you before your fixed term account matures it automatically converts to the Instant Access account for matured fixed term deposits until instructions are received from you. This will be at a variable interest rate which is currently 0.05% Gross/AER, You can find out more about our interest rates in any of our branches or online.
