Can Oxbury Bank change the interest rate?
Yes.
If the Bank of England base rate changes, the new interest rate on your account will apply no more than 14 business days following the change. You will be able to view your new rate at Oxbury.com and in Oxbury Online Banking and the Oxbury App.
Oxbury can also make changes to the Margin added or subtracted to the Bank of England base rate to determine the account’s AER. Where your balance is over £100, any reduction in the Margin will be communicated to you by providing at least 104 days’ notice. Where we increase the Margin or 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 Terms and Conditions set out the circumstances when we may change the rate.
