* Gross - the rate of interest paid without deduction of tax. Please note that if you are an individual, resident within the EU, your interest may be subject to a Retention Tax charge.  Please click here for further information.  Important - you must declare any interest earned to the income tax authorities in your country of residence.
** AER - (Annual Equivalent Rate) - this represents the annual rate effectively received by the customer if interest at the gross rate applied during a year remains in the account, and itself earned interest.
