The interest rate that is applied to your account will depend on your balance. The amount of interest you will earn will apply to the whole balance in your account.
Interest is calculated daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening.
You can check the interest rate applicable to your account on any day by visiting sainsburysbank.co.uk and logging into your online banking.
If your interest rate changes because you paid in more money, or you receive interest into the account, the rate will update overnight online. But interest will be applied at the rate applicable to your new balance, from the day we receive your payment.
Can Sainsbury's Bank change the interest rate?
Rates are variable. This means we may increase or decrease interest rates at any time, for example, to reflect a change in the Bank of England base rate, or if there are changes in the rates of interest which other firms providing similar products pay. We will contact you to tell you when your interest rate changes. For further information on how and when please refer to condition 7 of our General Terms and Conditions and conditions 2.3 and 2.4 of our eSaver Special Terms and Conditions.
