Can Marsden Building Society change the interest rate?
The interest rate is variable so we can increase or decrease the rate at any time.
If the interest rate on your account falls, and the balance in your account is £100 or more, we will personally notify you of the change.
All our interest rates are available on our website.
For more details about why we may change the rate, and when we’ll let you know about a change, please refer to our General Retail Savings Account Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £5,000 deposit?

This example assumes that the account is opened with the amount stated on 01 April, no withdrawals or further deposits are made throughout the 12 months, the interest earned is added to the account, and no changes are made to the current interest rate. It is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account your individual circumstances.

Additional information
*No tax will be automatically deducted from the interest paid on this account. The receipt of interest gross by a company will not prevent the interest from being liable for corporation tax. For information regarding tax or how to make a self-assessment tax return, please contact HMRC.
Tax treatment and rate payable may change in the future.
†AER stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate and shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
