    I doubt you were told that a deposit put in a few days before the interest was payable would attract a whole years worth of interest. I suspect you misunderstood what you were being told.

    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
  • Interest is normally calculated daily and paid either monthly or annually.

    I'm not trying to get at you, so please don't take offense but I the conversation took place over a year ago, I did question it at the time but was reassured this was the case. I don't remember it in detail...it's just another one of life's conversations.

    I came here to seek clarification which I have now received, so thanks for that :) However I certainly think surreysaver is along the right lines.
