  • Flexible access to your money

    It’s not always easy to anticipate when you’ll need to get hold of your savings. That’s why we’ve created our E-asy Access Account. Withdraw your money, without hidden charges or penalties.

  • A generous savings rate

    Make withdrawals at any time. Our E-asy Access Account pays 0.30% AER* on savings between £10,000 - £1,000,000. Our accounts are free of gimmicks such as introductory rates.

  • What is the interest rate?

    This is an E-asy Access Account, paying a variable rate of interest.

    Current rates: Gross p.a.^ (variable)/AER*

    £0 - £9,999

    		  0.05%
    £10,000 - £1,000,000 0.30%
    Current rates: Gross p.a.^ (variable)/AER*

    £0 - £9,999

    		  0.05%
    £10,000 - £1,000,000 0.30%

    Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. Interest is compounded unless paid away to a different account.

  • Can Investec change the interest rate?

    Yes, the interest rate is variable. For details on how the rate can change, go to the Banking Relationship Agreement, which can be found at www.investec.com/termsandconditions (Section 9).

  • What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £10,000 deposit?

    At current interest rates a deposit of £10,000 would generate an interest of £30.03 after 12 months. This would provide a final balance of £10,030.03.

    If at any time the balance falls below £10,000 a reduced interest rate of 0.05% gross p.a.^(variable)/AER* would be paid.  A balance of £5,000 would generate an interest of £2.50 after 12 months. This would provide a final balance of £5,002.50.

     

    Both examples above are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not based on individual circumstances.

     

    These illustrations also assume that the initial balance remains unchanged and that no withdrawals and no further deposits are made in this period. They also assume interest is paid into an Investec E-asy Access Account.

  • How do I open and manage my account?
