For every account opened, we will pay a percentage of the advertised rate to The Salvation Army. The percentage paid to The Salvation Army will differ according to the account you choose. Save and give by making a meaningful impact supporting the community. Give money meaning.
This account is for registered businesses in the UK.
*AER stands for Annual equivalent Rate. It illustrates what your interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded each year and allows you to easily compare different savings accounts. As every advertisement for a savings product, which quotes an interest rate, will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.
