Nationwide 1 Year Triple Access Online Saver 15

Hi all.

Just looking some clarification on how this account works from anyone who may have one. Can you keep adding funds to the account throughout the one year term, like a regular saver but without the limit, or is it a one and done deposit that can't be added to after the first deposit?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it's a limited access account which means you can add funds any time you like but are limited to only 3 withdrawals a year if you want to maintain the top 1.75% interest rate.

    Thanks, that's what I thought but the T's and C's only mention withdrawals not ongoing deposits.

    I would imagine that's because there are no limits on deposits - it's essentially an easy access account, but with a limited number of withdrawals needed to keep that higher rate.

    I`ll second @refluxer, you can keep adding but only three withdrawals per year.
    If you make three withdrawals does the rate remain at 1.75% until the fourth and then it goes down to 0.15%.

    yes 1.75% but the moment you make the fourth it drops on the balance going forward.
  • If you do make 3 withdrawals you can close the account and re-open a new account of the same issue and start the process again. I discovered this when I closed the account the day before they raised the interest rate to 1.75%. 
  • Why would anyone even consider a limited access at 1.75 when free access is available for more 🤷‍♂️

    I was thinking the same but there are people who prefer to have all their money with "their" bank or Building Society, or with a household name, or with an app-only outfit. Whatever floats their boat......
