1. You can choose to have your interest paid monthly (for 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 year FTD), annually (for 2, 3, 5, and 7 year FTD), or on the maturity of the deposit for all Accounts.
2. Interest is paid away for all frequencies and is not compounded. Please refer to the Interest Rate Sheet for Gross Rates on different interest payment options.
3. Interest is calculated daily and credited monthly, annually, or at maturity of the deposit depending on your selection.
4. The interest rate frequency cannot be amended once the selection has been confirmed.
5. Interest will be paid out to the account that you nominate at the time of account opening. This account must be a UK bank account in your name.
6. Should you wish to change the nominated account during the course of the Fixed Term Deposit, you will need to provide UBL UK with written instructions to do so that are signed and dated by all Account holders..

IMPORTANT NOTICE: UBL UK does not compound interest and interest is not added to your principal amount on any selected interest payment frequency. If you have selected interest payment at maturity, at the end of your term you will have the choice to reinvest your principal and any accrued interest into a new term, or have the interest paid into your nominated account.

No.

This Account has a fixed rate of interest for the term you select and the rate will not change during this fixed period.

Below is an example of what the future balance might be after any accrued interest has been paid at the prevailing rate.

UBL UK has used the following assumptions to produce the above calculations;

1. Calculations are based on a minimum deposit of £2,000
2. No change in the amount (no deposits, no withdrawals) for the duration of the fixed term
3. No change to the interest rate during the fixed term (the interest rate is fixed for the term of the deposit on all Fixed Term Deposit Accounts)
4. Interest payment on maturity

Early withdrawal (including partial withdrawal) is allowed only at the Bank's discretion and under extenuating circumstances. If an early withdrawal (including partial withdrawal) is allowed before the full term expires, you will face an Early Withdrawal Charge in accordance with the Account Terms and Conditions. Details of the charges for each term are detailed below:

The Early Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from any interest that has been accrued on your Account. If interest has already been paid out to your nominated account, then the Early Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from your deposit with us.

The total of the interest paid and deposit you receive back from us will be no less than your original deposit at the Fixed Term Deposit start date.

1. This Account can be held in single or joint names.
2. There is a 14 day cooling off period for all Fixed Term Deposits.
3. If you decide to cancel within the 14 days we will not deduct Early Withdrawal Charges, but you will not be entitled to any accrued interest for the number of days the deposit has been with us.
4. Interest will be paid using the Gross Rate and tax will not be deducted where your interest is exempt.
5. Gross rate means we won't deduct tax from the interest we pay on money in your account. It's your responsibility to pay any tax you may owe to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) or other tax authorities that you are required to report to.
6. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will include an AER, it makes it easier for you to compare what return you can expect from your savings over time. IMPORTANT NOTE: UBL UK does not compound interest on Fixed Term Deposits as interest is paid away to your nominated account.

Definitions:

To help you in your product selection, you may find the following definitions useful:

• Gross interest: the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
• AER (Annual Equivalent Rate): the AER illustrates what the true rate of interest would be if interest was paid and compounded each year. Please note that the actual interest rate, based on the interest payment frequency you chose, will be different to the AER advertised. If interest is credited more frequently to your nominated Account, the actual rate applied would be lower.
