What is the interest rate?
Interest is calculated daily and paid annually into this account.
1 'AER' stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
What is the minimum and maximum I can invest?
You can invest between £20,000 and £2,000,000 into this account.
Can Allica Bank change the interest rate?
No. In a fixed-term account, we guarantee the interest rate you’ll receive for the duration of the fixed term.
What would the estimated balance be after 24 months based on a £20,000.00 deposit?
Opening deposit | Balance at maturity | Interest earned |
£20,000.00 | £21,736.00 | £1,736.00 |
This assumes interest is paid into this savings account and does not take into account individual circumstances.

What happens at maturity?
- We will email you with options at least 30 days before your account matures to ask you what you would like us to do with your savings.
- If we don't hear from you, we'll email you again 14 days prior to your account maturing, to remind you that we're still waiting for your instructions.
- You will have the choice of reinvesting into a new Allica savings account, withdrawing funds to your nominated account, or a combination of both.
- If we don't receive maturity instructions at least one day before the maturity date, we will place the funds in an Easy Access holding account ready for you to reinvest or withdraw.
- If the end of the fixed-term falls on a non-working day, your funds will be made available on the next working day.
