- Interest will only accrue on balances above £1,000 and up to £500,000
- If your balance falls below £1,000 after account opening, you will not receive interest on the balance
- You will only receive interest on balances above £500,000, where those balances have resulted from interest being accrued to the account
- The interest rate is variable
- Interest is calculated daily and is paid into your Farm Business Easy Access Account every month, with reference to the date of receipt of your first deposit
Can Oxbury 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 Deposit 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.
