5 with our Private bank account, you receive a host of benefits designed to make the most of your money Up to 30 days interest on Investec card spending We keep paying interest on the money you ve spent on your Investec card, right up to your next statement date. That means you could benefit from up to 30 days interest every single month. Uncapped interest on your entire balance We pay a generous interest rate of 0.25% AER* variable on your entire balance. And because there are no caps or tiers in place, every single pound will be working as hard as possible for you. *AER stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once a year. The AER is intended to be an indicative rate to help you compare the return on different savings products. Interest is variable and is paid monthly. Rates correct as at 14 July

6 Competitive overdrafts available You can apply to add an overdraft to your account if you would like one. We offer a competitive interest rate of Bank of England base rate + 8% variable. If spending on your Investec card takes you into your overdraft, and you ensure your account is back in credit before your next statement date, we won t charge you interest on that borrowing. There are no renewal, arrangement or usage charges either, so all that s added is more financial flexibility. Representative example (based on an arranged overdraft limit of 1,200): 7.26% EAR (variable) A 10 monthly account fee For an all-inclusive monthly account fee you get all the outstanding benefits of private banking. You simply pay the transparent fee of 10 a month, and we don t add any additional charges or fees.
