Interest, payable annually on 31 March, can be added to the account, transferred to your bank account or transferred to an existing Melton savings account.

Can the Melton Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate is variable, which means we reserve the right to change the rate to reflect market conditions, to comply with legal or regulatory guidelines and to protect the Society’s long-term future.

We’ll give you 14 days’ notice before making any change that would disadvantage you.

For full details, please read our Terms and Conditions.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000 in this account after 12 months, you would have £1,045.00.

This figure is only an estimate, based on:

  • there being no additional deposits
  • no withdrawals being made
  • no rate changes in that time with all interest being added to your account.

This illustration is just an example to help you compare accounts. It does not take into account any individual circumstances.

Can I withdraw money?

Yes, you can withdraw money as long as you give us 180 days’ notice. By logging into your online account, you can transfer funds from your account to a nominated bank/building society account.

You can also access your money without giving notice, but you will be charged 180 days’ interest on the amount you withdraw. The maximum amount you can withdraw in a day without giving notice is £25,000. If you close your account in the first 180 days, you might get less back than you deposited.

Withdrawals are subject to the limits explained in our savings terms and conditions.
