Unusual in 'guaranteeing' a specific payout (not in cash!) - which they helpfully equate to an interest rate.
It was possible, I seem to recall, to time the monthly payments to the back end of the month (i.e. the reverse of the usual practice) to minimise the interest 'cost' for a given (i.e. 'fixed') return......under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam0 -
Phrase like "gross pa" - pa means per anum which means yearly. If your money hasn't been there for a year, don't expect a year's interest.
AER - guess what the A stands for. Yup, annual.This should still be in the t&c's0
