Beehive Rate Reduction

For those that have this account...

Important information: Rate reduction to your eSaver Instant Issue 9 account

We regularly review our savings interest rates, alongside the rates offered by other savings providers and what is happening in the wider market. Sometimes this means having to make the difficult decision to reduce interest rates.

As a result of our latest review, the interest rate payable on your account will change on 7th October 2019.

Your new interest rate will be 1.45% gross p.a./AER.* reduced from 1.55%

A timely reduction as Al Rayan now open.

    Just got this secure message.

    It's a bit unclear if this is applied to everyone on this account or me 'cos I've had 12 months on the higher rate, but it'll be on its way....either way.
