    Fixed Rate Bond Issue 136 maturing on 31 May 2024

  • What is the interest rate?

    £1,000 + 0.75% Gross PA/AER

    Interest will be paid annually at 31 December and on maturity, 31 May 2024, into the account or into your nominated account stated on your application form. Monthly interest equal to the annual rate is available which can be paid into your nominated account.

  • Can Buckinghamshire Building Society change the interest rate?

    No, interest is fixed for the term of the account.

  • What would be the estimated balance after 12 months based on a deposit of £1,000?

    The estimated balance after 12 months based on a deposit of £1000 would be £1,007.50. This estimation assumes that £1000 is deposited on 1 January with no deposit, or withdrawal transactions made and interest subsequently paid gross at 31 December.

    This projection is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account your individual circumstances.

  • Can I withdraw money?

    • You can withdraw your savings on the maturity date.

  • Additional Information

    • Gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law. We will pay interest at the gross rate. It is your responsibility to declare any interest you earn to HMRC. The Society also has a legal obligation to supply to HMRC with particulars of interest paid.
    • Basic rate taxpayers can earn up to £1,000 interest on savings tax free. Higher rate taxpayers can earn up to £500 interest on savings tax free. Additional rate taxpayers will pay tax on all savings interest earned.
    • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
    • We have no current plans to withdraw this product although it can be withdrawn without notice.

You should read this information carefully in conjunction with our General Savings Terms and Conditions to ensure you understand them.

Upon opening one of these accounts you will automatically become a member and be bound by the Society's Rules, a copy of which is available on request.

The 14 day cancellation period does not apply to fixed rate bonds, so you cannot change your mind once the account is open and the application has been accepted. The money will remain in the bond until maturity.

If you require a third party to operate this account on your behalf a Power of Attorney should be in place.
