- Interest is calculated daily and paid into your Farm Business 35 Day Notice account monthly, with reference to the date of receipt of your first deposit

Can Oxbury Bank change the interest rate?
Oxbury can make changes to your interest rate. Where your balance is over £100, any reductions in the interest rate will be communicated to you providing at least 14 calendar days’ notice. Where we increase your rate or we decrease it when you have a balance below £100, we’ll usually make the change immediately and notify you as soon as possible. Our Deposits General Terms and Conditions set out the circumstances when we may change the interest rate, such as where our cost of funding increases as a result of changes in the Bank of England base rate.
Please note this account is NOT linked to the Bank of England base rate so fluctuations in the base rate will not automatically be reflected in the interest rate applicable to your account.
