2 withdrawals per year

Our Children’s Future Saver allows two withdrawals per year without loss of interest or a penalty, including closure.

How is interest calculated?

Interest is calculated on a daily basis and paid annually on 31st December.  The annual interest will be paid directly into this account with the Society.

Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Accounts General Terms and Conditions for further information on how we calculate interest.

Details of our full range of products and current interest rates are available on request at our branches, by telephone 01257 235003 or from our website www.chorleybs.co.uk/savings

Interest Rate Definitions

  1. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added to the account once each year.
  2. Gross – The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax)

Can Chorley Building Society change the interest rate? 

This account has a variable rate of interest and is subject to change; this means we may increase or decrease interest rates at any time. If we reduce the interest rate and you have at least £100 in your account, we will give you 14 days notification prior to the change and you will have a period of 30 days from the date of the notification to switch or close your account.

Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Accounts General Terms and Conditions for further information on how and why we may change the interest rate.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months

based on a £1,000 initial deposit?

The projection is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in the interest rate within the 12 month period and does not take into account your individual circumstances.
