Interest

• All rates are annual rates of interest.
• Interest is calculated/compounded annually and paid annually and at maturity.
• If you increase your rate, the annual interest paid will be pro-rated based on the two rates used for that year and the length of the time each rate is held. The overall yield will be a combination of the rates.
• You earn more interest the longer you keep your money invested.
