Managing your account

It must be used to pay in to and return funds from the Limited Edition Fixed Term Deposit account.
On the day your Limited Edition Fixed Term Deposit account is opened, we will arrange for the transfer of the deposit from your Linked Service Account. There is no charge for this service.
You cannot add more money throughout your fixed term.
Should you wish to make additional deposits you can open a new Fixed Term Deposit Account.

Can I withdraw my money?

You cannot take out your funds during your fixed term. Make sure you do not need these funds before they are invested.
You cannot close your account during your fixed term unless you have special circumstances. You’ll need to put your request to close in writing, with a good reason. We’ll review your reason and make the final decision. You may be asked for more information when we do this.
You may be charged if you break your term early. This excludes the 14-day cooling off period. We’ll advise you of any charges up front before your term is broken. More details can be found under ‘Account Features’ in our Fixed Term Deposit Terms and Conditions. These can be found in the Limited Edition Fixed Term Deposit factsheet.
If a withdrawal results in the balance of the Limited Edition Fixed Term deposit falling below £2,000, the full balance plus any interest earned will be moved to your Linked Service Account. Your new interest rate will be the current rate of interest on your Linked Service Account.

When your Fixed Term ends, your options are as follows:

Have your funds returned to you.
Move your funds to a new product.
If selected at the start of the term, we’ll automatically rollover your funds into a new Fixed Term Deposit for the same term at the new interest rate.

If you change your mind about depositing your money with us again, let us know in writing. We will cancel your Fixed Term Deposit. If you do want to cancel, there will be no charge if you tell us within 14 days of your Limited Edition Fixed Term Deposit being opened.
