*AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. Gross is the rate of interest payable before tax is deducted. For example, if £100,000 is deposited in the New Client Term Deposit for the full 12 months at a rate of 3.00% AER, £3,000 in interest would be earned. Therefore the total return at the end of the 12 month term would be £103,000.
