Additional information
Interest is paid without tax deducted.
As well as earning interest on your savings, you will also be helping to support the Society's Charitable Foundation. Each year, we will make a payment to our Charitable Foundation based on the average balances held in our Community Notice Saver Accounts at no cost to you.
If you decide within 14 days of opening your account that it isn't the right account for you, you can have your money back without charge. We'll arrange to close the account and return your money to you or transfer it to another one of our savings accounts.
The Tipton offer a range of savings accounts on a non-advised basis. There may be another savings account which may have a higher rate of interest and/or be better suited to your personal needs. Please speak to a member of the team for other product information.
