What is the interest rate?

• If you were to choose monthly interest payments, you will receive 4.70% gross variable. As this interest is being compounded, over the 12 months this will equate to 4.80% AER gross variable.
• The above rate is effective from 21 September 2023.
• AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded on an annual basis.
• This allows customers to compare interest rates across different products paid at different intervals e.g. monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually. 
• Interest is calculated daily and can be paid monthly or annually, the date we pay your interest is linked to the date we receive your initial qualifying deposit
• Interest is paid on a gross basis meaning without tax being deducted.

Can RCI Bank change the interest rate?

• Yes. The interest rate is variable, and we can change the rate of interest on existing accounts by giving you at least 28 days’ notice, usually by email. We can change the rate for a new account applications at any time.
