Charity Fixed Term Savings Accounts
Enjoy fixed returns on your lump sum deposits when you open a Charity Fixed Term Savings Account. Choose the term that suits your organisation’s goals and lock your funds away for a guaranteed return. Our fixed term savings accounts are specifically designed for charities registered in England and Scotland.
Charity Fixed Term Savings Account Features
- Choose from 6 months, 1 year or 2 years to earn fixed interest rates on your charity’s deposits.
- Funds are locked in until the fixed term deposit matures.
- Interest is calculated daily at the applicable interest rate; paid to your account balance at the end of the fixed term.
- Interest is paid gross which means that the rate of interest is payable before any tax is taken off.
- Manage your charity account via Telephone or Online Banking.
- Support from our UK based Customer Experience Team.
Please Note: If you think you would need access to your savings before the fixed term ends, this is probably not the right savings account for you. Please see our other Charity Savings Accounts for more flexible options.
We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if we as a Bank fail to meet our financial obligations. In general, all retail depositors and businesses are covered by Deposit Guarantee Schemes. Exceptions for certain deposits are stated on the website for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Definitions Explained
*AER
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.
