Northern Rock Query

speaking as a novice can someone tell me if I'm right....If I open a NR Bond savings account with £550 pounds I can expect to recieve a monthly 6.9% rate of £37.95 into my nominated bank account until January 2009?

also if I immediately put back into the bond the interest earned a month would that be allowed?
thanks

  • Hi,

    sorry, £37.95 would be for a whole year, you would only get about £ £3.16 per month.

    No. 6.9 is the annual percentage rate. On £550 you would get £3.16 monthly if you are not a tax payer, if you are and on the lowest band 20%, you would get only £2.52 a month approx. Hope this helps.
