*Restricted access to funds on these accounts, please refer to account specific information for details on withdrawals
If the balance falls below the minimum the interest rate payable on the account may change to that payable on our Extra Ordinary Account. Please check the terms and conditions of your particular account to see if this applies.
In practice and where the terms of the account allow, amounts will be paid out by cheque from Head Office on the same day (occasionally the day after) that a properly completed withdrawal form is received. In the case of Call Save, Regular Saver (Issue 1), Cash ISA (Issue 3) and Cash ISA Plus (Issue 4), cheque withdrawals are not available and withdrawal amounts will only be transferred to the nominated bank account. This service is also available to all other account holders. Please call us for further details.
