About this savings account

Everything you need to know, from FSCS protection to minimum deposits.

What is the interest rate?

The rate is 4.36% | 4.36% (AER | Gross). 

 
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate – and illustrates the interest rate if interest was paid and compounded each year. 

‘Gross’ is the interest rate without the deduction of income tax. 

We’ve already deducted Flagstone's share of interest from these rates. 

The interest you receive comes without any deduction for income tax. You are responsible for paying any tax due on interest/profits that exceed your Personal Savings Allowance to HM Revenue & Customs. Tax treatment can change. 

The bank will return both your initial deposit and any interest after 2 years, when your account matures. 

Can the bank change the rate?

No. Once you’ve opened this Fixed Term account, the rate will remain the same for the full term. 

What would my estimated balance be after 12 months, based on a £10,000 deposit?

Initial deposit: £10,000

Balance after 12 months: £10,436

We’ve made this projection for illustrative purposes only – it doesn’t take into account your individual circumstances. In making this projection, Flagstone has assumed that you’ll deposit £10,000.00 in the account at the time you open it, and that you’ll make no further deposits or withdrawals. 

How do I open a Flagstone account?

You can open savings accounts with Flagstone in three easy steps. 



First, complete your application (you can get started in just a few minutes). Then, fund your Flagstone holding account. This acts like a wallet, which you can use to make deposits and open new savings accounts with any of our partner banks. 



Then, it’s simply a case of choosing the account (or accounts) that work best for you. Agree to their T&Cs, and you can open them in a couple of clicks.

What is the minimum and maximum deposit?

The maximum deposit and account balance is £1,000,000.
