Key Product Information

Saving little and often really adds up with a Regular Saver. If you’re looking to start saving or want to put aside some spare cash each month, a Regular Saver Account could help. You’ll be able to invest up to £500 per month, then sit back and watch your savings grow. So, whether you want to save for your next holiday, your dream car, a family wedding, Christmas or even a house deposit, our Regular Saver Account could be for you.

What is the interest rate?

Annual interest     5.25% Gross / AER

We calculate the interest daily and pay it annually on the date you opened the account.

Can Leek Building Society change the interest rates?

The interest rate on this account is variable, so it can go up or down. If the rate goes down, we’ll write to you around 14 days before the rate changes.

For more details about why we may change the rate as well as how and when we’ll let you know, please see our Statement of Practice Investors leaflet.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a monthly deposit of £500?

The estimated balance after 12 months would be £6,171.31.

This would be the balance if £500 is paid in on the first of every month for 12 months and no money is taken out. In this example all interest is paid into the account and no changes are made to the interest rate.

This illustration is just an example to help you compare accounts. It doesn’t consider any individual circumstances.
