What is the minimum and maximum I can invest?
You can invest between £10,000 and £250,000 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 6 months based on a £10,000 deposit?
| Opening deposit | Balance at maturity | Interest earned |
| £10,000.00 | £10,212.50 | £212.50 |
This assumes interest is paid into this savings account and does not take into account individual circumstances.
How do I open and manage my account?
To open your account:
- You must be a UK resident aged 18 years and over.
- You will need to nominate another UK bank account in your name that will be used to fund your Allica Bank savings account. This is also where we’ll send your money if you choose to make a withdrawal.
- Once you have opened your account, you have 14 calendar days to deposit your funds. If your account has not reached the minimum deposit amount in that time, the account will be closed.
Also, bear in mind:
- You can open your account online.
- You can view your balance and communicate through our internet banking service.
- You can fund using Faster Payments, but please note that we don’t accept CHAPS payments.
Can I withdraw money?
As this is a fixed-term account, we will be unable to accept requests for a withdrawal before the end of the term. Please note there is no 14-day cooling off period for this account.
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.
