Definitions

+EAR (Effective Annual Rate) - the effective annual rate is used to express the cost of borrowing on current accounts. The EAR takes account of the rate of interest charged, the frequency it is levied to accounts and compounding of interest. It does not include overdraft fees.


++AER. The Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.


*Gross Rate. Gross interest is interest payable without taking account of the deduction of income tax. For most customers tax will be deducted at the lower rate prevailing at the time of payment (presently 20%).


**Net Rate The net rate is the gross rate less tax at the lower rate of 20%. Tax at this rate will be deducted from accounts subject to tax at the time interest is paid. Non-taxpayers may register for payment of interest gross. Tax paid may be reclaimed, where appropriate, from HM Revenue & Customs.

^To obtain the Preferential Planned Borrowing Rate on the Principal Account customers must have their Home Loan (mortgage) with Clydesdale Bank PLC.

Clydesdale Bank PLC is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.  You may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations.  This depends on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim.

In respect of deposits with a UK office, payments under the Scheme are limited to 100% of the first £50,000 of a depositor's total credit balances.

In respect of mortgage advice and arranging covered by the Scheme, with effect from 31 October 2004, claims are limited to 100% of the first £30,000 and 90% of the next £20,000, resulting in a maximum claim of £48,000.

Further details of the Scheme are available from us on request or from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme: www.fscs.org.uk or Financial Services Compensation Scheme, 7th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, Portsoken Street, London, E1 8BN
