Can Marsden Building Society change the interest rate?
The interest rate is variable so we can increase or decrease the rate at any time subject to 14 days’ notice.
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.
If we reduce your interest rate, you can choose to close your account, make a partial withdrawal, or switch to another account. You can do this within 30 days of us notifying you of the change without incurring an interest penalty or paying any charges.
If you do not close or switch your account within 30 days, we will consider you to have accepted the change.
For more details about why we may change the rate, please refer to our Retail Savings Terms & Conditions.
All our interest rates are available on our website.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £5,000 deposit?

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.
