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 in our branches and 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 £1,000 deposit?
If you saved £1,000 the estimated balance after 12 months would be £1,033.50.

Additional information
*Interest will be paid gross. This means all the interest we pay you will be without tax deducted. If the total amount of interest you receive exceeds any Personal Savings Allowance to which you’re entitled, you may have to pay tax at the applicable rate. This would need to be paid directly to HM Revenue & Customs. For more information, please visit gov.uk and search for ‘Personal Savings Allowance’.
†AER stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate and shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
