Alternatively, they can choose e–bond issue 19, which pays 3.25% gross*/AER** pa, fixed until 20 October 2014. Monthly interest rate options are also available on all three products. Accounts must be opened and operated online and initial deposits can be made online by electronic transfer from another bank or building society.

Account holders can choose to have their interest paid annually (interest is calculated daily) on 5 August, or monthly (the monthly interest rate is 0.30% below the gross* annual rate) on the 7th of the month (available next business day).

Additional deposits to the bonds can be made during the offer period up to a maximum of £500,000 per customer. The fixed rate bonds (Issues 18 and 19) are non-redeemable and none of the issues allow any withdrawals or closure during their respective fixed rate periods. The bonds are offered on a strictly limited issue basis and will be withdrawn without notice once fully subscribed. Once withdrawn, no further deposits will be accepted.
