• If the balance falls below £100, the rate of interest will be 0.05% Gross^‡ p.a./AER^† variable.

• Interest is calculated daily and paid annually on 30 November (commencing 30 November 2025) and on maturity 30 November 2027.

• Interest can be credited to the account or transferred to another building society/bank account or to another account that you have with us.

^‡Gross means the rate of interest payable before tax has been taken off.

^†AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and this is what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.

Can Leeds Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate on this account is fixed, this means the interest rate paid on your account won’t change during the fixed rate term subject to the minimum balance of £100 being in your account.

What would the estimated balance be after 36 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

If you deposit £1,000 in your account at the time it is opened and it earns an interest rate of 3.85%, after 36 months you will receive an interest payment of £120. This will be paid at the end of the fixed term and the total estimated balance in your account will be £1,120. This assumes that:

• You don’t make any further deposits,

• You don’t make any withdrawals and,

• The interest is paid annually and added to the account.
