The Stafford Building Society has the right to change interest rates in certain circumstances. If we change the rates we will give you 14 days’ notice. Please refer to the savings terms and conditions for further information on these circumstances.

The projections assume that the amount of £5,000 is deposited into the account at the time it is opened and that no further deposits or withdrawals are made for the full interest period. This projection is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account the individual circumstances of the organisation. This projection includes the interest earned in the year that has been credited into the savings account.

Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only.
