What is the Interest Rate?

4.61% AER/Gross a year effective from 16/07/2025

Can The Stafford change the Interest Rate?

Yes, the interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down. If we change the interest rate, we will give you 14 days’ notice. You will find full details of this and the reasons why we may change the interest rate in our Savings Terms and Conditions.

PLEASE NOTE: This rate will not be reduced should the Bank of England reduce the Base Rate in their meeting of 7th August.
