Instant Savings Account Summary Box

Interest is payable on this account. The Capital on Tap Instant Savings Account interest rate is based on the Bank of England base rate. The interest rate is variable and tracks at a margin of 0.57% (gross) below the Bank of England base rate ("Interest Rate"). The current interest rate is 4.26% AER / 4.18% gross p.a. (variable). To monitor the Bank of England base rate visit www.bankofengland.co.uk

Capital on Tap reserves the right to vary the interest rate depending on market conditions. For a full list of reasons for an interest rate change, see our Terms and Conditions.

Interest is accumulated daily based on the cleared funds in your account (as determined by ClearBank). This interest is then paid monthly on a gross basis.

ClearBank will pay the interest accumulated within the calendar month directly to your Savings Account within 3 working days of that month's end.

If you close your Savings Account mid-month, ClearBank will calculate the interest up until the day before you close your account, before paying it into your account.

Your Savings Account won’t be closed until the remaining balance is sent to your nominated bank account.

The rate will automatically track the Bank of England base rate, minus a margin, currently 4.26%. Capital on Tap also reserves the right to vary the margin in line with the Terms and Conditions.

No notice is required if we’re decreasing the size of the margin (passing more interest on to you). We will, however, provide 14 days’ notice if we’re increasing the size of our margin (passing less interest on to you). When moving in line with Bank of England base rate changes (either up or down), no notice is required.

The interest rate is based on the current interest rate available on the account as it stood on 4 November 2024.

Please note that this calculation is for illustration purposes only. The interest rate on an Instant Savings account is variable and therefore the total could be more or less than shown here depending on whether rates rise or fall. This calculator assumes the interest rate does not change during the period of time selected and that no further deposits or withdrawals are made beyond an initial deposit of £1,000. The calculations shown include the total amount of interest earned as part of your total savings and include compound interest. The tax treatment of your savings will depend on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.

Capital on Tap is not a bank and we don't have physical branches. Capital on Tap does not provide financial advice. Our Savings Account is powered by ClearBank. Customers with an Instant Savings Account are introduced to ClearBank, with their deposits held by ClearBank as a ClearBank Customer, Capital on Tap does not possess the client's Instant Savings Account at any time. Customers can only view and manage their Instant Savings Account held with ClearBank via their Capital on Tap service. Customers are also Capital on Tap customers, in that they sign up to Capital on Tap's Terms and Conditions.

Depending on personal circumstances, you may have to pay tax on the interest to HM Revenue & Customs. Please seek professional tax advice if you are unsure about your tax position.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
