What is the interest rate?
Tax-Free p.a./AER Variable: 3.95%
If you make more than three withdrawals per calendar year or your balance falls below the minimum operating amount, the interest rate payable on the remaining balance for that calendar year will be equivalent to the Society's Extra Ordinary Account rate: Tax-Free p.a./AER Variable: 1.25%.
AER: Stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year
Can Teachers Building Society change the interest rate?
The interest rate for this account is variable, meaning that it can be changed at any time in accordance with section 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6 of the applicable terms and conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?
The estimated balance after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit would be £1,039.50. This amount is based on the assumption that all terms and conditions for the account are met.

Up to three withdrawals can be made per calendar year without notice by telephone or online. If you make more than three withdrawals per calendar year, the interest rate payable on the remaining balance for that calendar year will be equivalent to the
Society's Extra Ordinary Account rate.
When you wish to make a withdrawal, you will need to log into your ‘My Accounts’ service to request the funds or contact us on 0800 783 2367.
The Society will then transfer the money to your nominated account by the Faster Payments Service.
Your funds will then be available to you on the next working day, so please take this into account when making a withdrawal (this is not suitable if you think you may need the money on the same day).
This is not a flexible ISA, therefore any withdrawals made will be taken from the current tax year subscription allowance and cannot be replaced.

please contact us.
