Fixed term savings for your business

Our Fixed Term Deposits (FTDs) give you attractive interest rates, offering security, commercial advantage and peace of mind. We offer a range of deposit terms and options if you are looking for competitive, fixed-term deposits for your Business or Trust Account.

We offer GBP and USD Business Fixed Term Deposit Accounts.

Good For

  • Saving a lump sum for a specific date in the future
  • Saving when you will not need to access your money before the end of the term
  • Achieving a higher rate of interest in return for locking your savings away for a fixed period

Not Good If

  • You may need access to your funds before the fixed term has ended
  • You wish to add further funds to your account over time.

    For deposits larger than the Maximum Deposit amount, please contact a member of the Customer Services Team on +44 (0) 121 753 6000 Monday to Friday from 9:15 am to 5:15 pm.

    1. You can choose to have your interest paid monthly (for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7-year FTD), annually (for 2, 3, 4, 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 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 Fixed Term Deposit, you will need to provide UBL UK with written instructions 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.

  • Can UBL UK change the interest rate?

    No.

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

  • What would the estimated balance be at the end of the term based on the minimum required deposit?

    Below is an example of the future balance after interest has been paid.

    GBP FIXED TERM DEPOSITS
    1 Year £2,000 4.46% £2,089.20
    2 Year £2,000 4.36% £2,178.20
    3 Year £2,000 4.51% £2,282.99
    4 Year £2,000 4.26% £2,363.20
    5 Year £2,000 4.26% £2,463.87

    USD FIXED TERM DEPOSITS
    1 Year $2,000 2.00% $2,040.00

    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

    These projections are only for illustrative purposes and do not consider individual circumstances.
