*AER

AER stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once a year. Gross means the interest rate payable before the deduction of tax. The AER is intended to be an indicative rate to help you compare the return on different savings products. Interest is paid gross.
