*The estimated balance refers to the balance after maturity of the selected fixed term deposit
*These are only examples for illustrative purposes and do not take into account your individual circumstances.These estimates assume that the account remains open for the duration of the stated term, deposits are made in a single payment, and interest is accrued daily and applied to the account upon maturity.
Our accounts are available to individuals, aged 18 or over, who are UK residents (i.e. England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland). Also, you must have a personal UK bank or building society account that allows transfers to be made to and from it.
Applications to open an account must be completed through our website here or via the OakNorth mobile banking app. Please note, joint accounts can only be opened through our online application on the website and not through the mobile app; the maximum number of account holders in a joint account is two.
The minimum deposit required to open your account is £1. The maximum deposit you may pay into any one account with us is £500,000. The maximum amount (excluding the interest) that you will be allowed to hold on deposit with us across multiple accounts is also £500,000. For a joint Account (joint accounts can only be opened through our online application on the website and not through the mobile app) this means that the maximum amount allowed to be held would be £1,000,000 i.e. £500,000 per account holder.
You can fund your account with multiple deposit payments within 14 calendar days from the day your account is approved. Once the 14 calendar day period expires, you will not be able to make any further deposits into the account. In the event you do not fund your account within the 14-day period, your account will automatically be closed.
Once you activate online banking, your account can be managed by logging into the OakNorth mobile banking app or through the ‘My Account’ section of our website. Alternatively, you can contact us by email, by phone, or by writing to us. Please refer to our website for our contact details.
No. This is a Fixed Term Deposit Account for a set period of time and our Fixed Term Deposit Accounts do not allow for funds to be withdrawn during the term of the deposit. We will contact you before the account matures to inform you of the options available for your maturing funds.
30 days and 14 days before your account matures, we will send you an email providing you a choice of options as follows:
If we do not hear from you before the account maturity date, the total amount including interest will be automatically transferred to a variable rate Easy Access Deposit account with us. See our Easy Access Deposit account page on our website for the current interest rate.
Interest will be accrued daily but only applied to your account upon maturity.
Gross rate interest is the interest payable without taking account of any tax payable.
The AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once a year.
