Statement of Account
A statement of the account will be available to the Member at all time online through the Members Area or the NHS Credit Union App. You can also contact us at any time for a paper statement.
Minimum and Maximum Savings
There is a minimum saving of £250 on this account. Maximum savings to this account and all other accounts you hold with the Credit Union cannot exceed £75,000. If the total maximum savings is to exceed £75,000 after the period of 3 months when the interest is added, the excess funds must be withdrawn to the member’s nominated bank account. The member may reduce the amount of other Credit Union accounts so that the total maximum savings will not exceed £75,000 when the Twelve Month Vault Savings Account matures.
Deposit Window
The 3 Month Vault will take deposits for a window between 23/02/2023 to 09/03/2023 at 12:00pm. Lump Sum deposits are allowed for this period, provided the initial deposit exceeds £250. We will only accept deposits by Faster Payments Service, internal transfers from another NHS Credit Union account are not allowed to the 3 month Vault. Please note if you currently have a share secured loan, you cannot transfer the funds held in this account as these funds are secured against your loan product.
Interest
The 3 Month Vault, upon maturity, will give 1.75% AER Interest on the final sum that has been captured in the deposit window provided. Interest will not be re-calculated in the interim 3 months.
Dividend
There is no annual dividend attached to this product.
Withdrawals
Withdrawing from the 3 Month Vault Savings Account will void the 1.75% AER interest at the end of the saving period. You will be notified when nearing the end of the 3 month period. On 09/06/2023, your savings will transfer to your normal share account, provided that the £75,000 cap over all accounts has not been met.
Any withdrawals from the account prior to the date of maturity will result in the account being closed in full.
