Can I withdraw money from this account?
- This account permits 3 withdrawals per year, without loss of interest or a penalty.
- Interest is paid annually on the 31st of December. The annual interest can be withdrawn, and this does not count as one of the 3 withdrawals.
- Additional withdrawals will result in a lower rate of interest equivalent to the Chorleian Instant Access Account rate (currently 2.10% Gross p.a./AER). This interest rate will apply for the remainder of the account year. At the start of the new account year the account will revert to the Easy Access Saver (3 Withdrawals) interest rate available at that time.
- Withdrawals can be made by cash, cheque or CHAPs* (*subject to a £25 fee). You can also request an online payment to a nominated bank account or to any of your Chorley accounts, providing these are in your own or joint names. Cheques requested by post or online for withdrawals or closures will be issued within 48 hours of receipt and posted 1st class to the account holder.
- Withdrawal conditions apply; please refer to section 9 of the Savings Account General Terms and Conditions and section 7 of the Chorley Online Terms and Conditions for further details.
