Summary box

Interest rate

Account name/term	Maturity date	Tier	If interest is paid annually	If interest is paid monthly
2 Year cahoot Fixed Rate Bond/24 months	2 Year/24 months after account opened	£500+	3.64% AER/gross (fixed) for 24 months from account opening	3.58% gross (fixed) for 24 months from account opening

We calculate interest daily and pay it annually or monthly. You can decide to have your interest paid monthly or annually. Once decided, you can't change this.

Annual interest

You can choose to pay interest into your bond, or elsewhere. This can be another cahoot or external account. We will pay interest each year on the date you opened the account.

Monthly interest

You can choose to pay interest into another cahoot account. Or you can choose to pay interest into an external account. We cannot pay interest back into your bond. We will pay interest each month on the date you opened the account.

We'll pay the final interest payment to your account on the date it matures. If your interest is due on a non-working day, we may pay you the next available working day. Your account balance including interest will then be available for withdrawal on the following working day.

AER is based on funds deposited on the day you open the account. If you deposit funds later than this, you may receive less interest than advertised.
