Product overview

Our Fixed Term Deposit (FTD) Accounts offer an alternative way of saving a lump sum for a fixed date in the future, and may often provide a better rate of interest than a standard Online Easy Access Savings Account. You benefit from a higher rate of interest in return for locking your money away for a fixed period.

UBL UK offer deposit terms from 1 Month to 7 Years for GBP denominated Accounts, and terms from 1 Month to 1 Year for USD denominated Accounts. All UBL UK Savings Accounts come with the added peace of mind of Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protection of £85,000 for eligible depositors.

AND NOW YOU CAN OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT VIA INTERNET OR MOBILE BANKING - SEARCH 'UBL UK MOBILE BANKING' IN YOUR APP STORE OR VISIT DIGITALBANKING.UBLUK.COM AND SELECT 'REGISTER'.

What is a Funding Account?

A Funding Account is a non-interest bearing transit account that we use to help you set up your Fixed Term Deposit. You should only transfer up to the committed amount into the Funding Account. Any additional funds will remain in the Funding Account, but you will not be able to move them through internet or mobile banking and will need to contact us by phone. If you make multiple deposits to fund your account, we will sweep them into your Fixed Term Deposit once you have reached the minimum funding amount of £2,000.

Early withdrawal (including partial withdrawal) is allowed only at the Bank's discretion and under extenuating circumstances. If an early withdrawal (including partial withdrawal) is allowed before the full term expires, you will face an Early Withdrawal Charge in accordance with the Account Terms and Conditions. Details of the charges for each term are detailed below:

• This Account can be held in single or joint names.
• There is a 14 day cooling off period for all Fixed Term Deposits.
• If you decide to cancel within the 14 days we will not deduct Early Withdrawal Charges, but you will not be entitled to any accrued interest for the number of days the deposit has been with us.
• Interest will be paid using the Gross Rate and tax will not be deducted where your interest is exempt.
• Gross rate means we won't deduct tax from the interest we pay on money in your account. It's your responsibility to pay any tax you may owe to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) or other tax authorities that you are required to report to.
• AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will include an AER, it makes it easier for you to compare what return you can expect from your savings over time. IMPORTANT NOTE: UBL UK does not compound interest on Fixed Term Deposits as interest is paid away to your nominated account.

Definitions:

To help you in your product selection, you may find the following definitions useful:

• Gross interest: the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
• AER (Annual Equivalent Rate): the AER illustrates what the true rate of interest would be if interest was paid and compounded each year. Please note that the actual interest rate, based on the interest payment frequency you chose, will be different to the AER advertised. If interest is credited more frequently to your nominated Account, the actual rate applied would be lower.
