                    I do hope you won't think this is a silly question!
I have an internet AA savings account where the interest is calculated daily and paid out on the anniversary of the first deposit date.
If I withdraw the money before that date how can I get the interest that has already been earned? (hope that's the right word)
If I leave a £1 in the account until the year is up will I get the interest on what I first had in the account?

            The only way to get the interest money before the annual date is to close the account.Personal Responsibility - Sad but True
