AER
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and is the notional rate that illustrates the contractual interest rate (excluding any bonus payable) as if paid and compounded on an annual basis. (As every advert for a saving product will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.) The current AER is 0.10%.
Gross
Gross rate is 0.10% and is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
Net
Net rate is 0.08% and is the rate of interest which would be payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law. (All rates correct as at 11/02/2009).
Financial Services Compensation Scheme
AMC Bank Limited is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the Financial Ombudsman Service. (Please note that due to the schemes eligibility criteria not all AMC Bank Limited customers will be covered by this schemes).
We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a bank is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors - including most individuals and small businesses - are covered by the scheme. In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to £50,000. For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would be £50,000 each (making a total of £100,000). The £50,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor's accounts with the bank including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.
For further information about the scheme (including the amounts covered and eligibility to claim) please call us on 01264 360560, refer to the FSCS website www.FSCS.org.uk or call 020 7892 7300 or 0800 678 1100.
