Notes
  1. A minimum opening investment of £3,000 is required for the Portfolio Extra Account (3rd or 4th Issue), which is only available when you take out Norwich Union's Portfolio in conjunction with this account. Norwich Union's Portfolio requires a minimum opening investment of £7,000, which must be at least 70% of the overall initial investment (adding together the balances of the Portfolio Extra Account (3rd or 4th Issue) and Norwich Union's Portfolio). Norwich Union's Portfolio is a lump sum investment bond with no fixed term. It is designed to be a long term investment and should not be viewed as a short term commitment. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and is not guaranteed.
  2. Including an introductory bonus of 2.00% gross/AER* for the first year of investment.
  3. Call Direct accounts - the following accounts are now known as Call Direct Advantage: Call Direct Step Rate; Call Direct 20 Tracker ( 2nd Issue).
  4. Branch accounts - the following accounts are now to be known as Branch Instant: Instant Option (4th Issue), Savings Shares, 3 Year Fixed Rate Bond (8th Issue) Matured, 3 Year Fixed Rate Option (10th Issue) Matured, 4 Year Fixed Rate Option (1st Issue) Matured.
  5. Including an introductory bonus of 4.50% gross pa for the first 6 months of investment. Since the introductory bonus is offered for less than a full calendar year, the AER will be lower than the gross pa.
  6. The minimum opening balance is £50 and must be in conjunction with equal commitment into a Norwich Union regular collective fund.

Net interest equals gross interest less income tax at the rate specified by law. ISAs - Subject to ISA Regulations, account terms and conditions and receipt of a valid declaration, interest will be paid gross without income tax being deducted

* AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year

Each product has its own specified minimum balance, below which the terms may provide for no interest to be earned. See product terms for details.
