AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
Interest is paid tax-free on 31 March each year, as long as the account continues to satisfy the ISA regulations. Interest is usually added to the account, but it can be paid to a bank account or another account with Scottish Building Society if you’d like.
The interest rate is variable and can change as outlined in section 8 of our Online Savings Terms & Conditions.
If the rate increases, we’ll update our website. If the rate goes down, we’ll write to you 14 days before the change.
After 12 months the estimated balance would be £1,009.
