If you hold any product that states in its Terms & Conditions that its interest rates are linked to base rate, then the interest rates will have been reduced on the business day after the Bank of England change. The reductions that took place were by 0.50% on 12th March and a further 0.15% on 20th March 2020.

The Base Rate Tracker products impacted by these changes were;

• Headstart,
• Current Account Tracker
• Private Current Account
• Private Savings Account
• Academy
• Business Choice Charity.
• Regular Home Saver,

These new rates were advertised in local and national press and will show on the next statement after the change.

Following the Bank of England base rate changes on the 11th and 19th March, we are lowering the interest rate on some of our variable rate savings accounts. We love to give our savers good value and are confident these new rates do exactly that in the current market.

• Existing variable rate account customers will get two months’ notice of their rate reduction, with a reminder sent 14 days before the rate goes down.
• New variable rate account customers will be advised at the point of sale of both the current rate and the future rate.

If your rate is reducing, your letter or email will show your new rate and the date it kicks in.

No - your savings rate is fixed for all of the term. This is usually one, two, three or five years. Any new rates will be advised to you when you receive your maturity information.

Following the Bank of England base rate changes on the 11th and 19th March, some current account products will be subject to a rate change. We love to offer good value for our customers and we’re confident these new rates do exactly that in the current market.

In line with your account terms, if we decrease the rate on your Current Account Direct or Virgin Money Current Account or its linked savings account, you’ll get two months’ notice of the rate reduction. For the linked savings account, we’ll also send you a reminder no more than 14 days before it starts.

If your rate is changing, your letter or email will show your new one and the date it kicks in.

This is an unprecedented situation, with two Bank of England base rate changes very close together. Because of this, we’re lowering the interest rate on a number of our variable rate savings accounts. This change reflects both base rate reductions at the same time. The amount the rate is reduced by differs between accounts so that we continue to offer good value in the market. We’ve also made sure that all affected accounts are paying more than base rate. If your rate is changing, we’ll let you know the new one and the date it starts.

Due to the Bank of England changing rates twice in quick succession, we’ve taken both changes into account when deciding on the new variable rates. The letter you’re getting now covers both rate reductions. We don’t have any plans to reduce rates again at the moment.

As always, we’ll continue to look at the market to make sure your savings account offers good value. And we’ll always tell you about any more changes with the right amount of notice.

Yes – we’re contacting every customer that is affected by this rate change. If we hold a valid email address for you, we will endeavour to advise you by email. If this is not possible or you have not provided us with an email, you will be sent a letter.

• Existing variable rate account customers will get two months’ notice of their rate reduction, with a reminder sent 14 days before the rate goes down.
• New variable rate account customers will be advised at the point of sale of both the current rate and the future rate.

Our savings range is reviewed on an account-by-account basis - interest rates may move by different amounts and at different times. This is to make sure they offer good value in the savings market.

We’re writing to customers whose interest rates are going down. For a small number of our accounts, the interest rates are still being looked at. We’ll write to those customers once any decisions are made, giving the right amount of notice.

We haven’t made a decision about the interest rates on some of our savings accounts yet. If we decide to change the rates on these accounts, we’ll let customers know as per their terms and conditions. All rates that are changing are being pre-notified on our website.

We’re sorry when anyone is unhappy. But it’s worth knowing that, as an existing customer, you can open any account that’s available to a new Clydesdale Bank or Virgin Money customer. So, if there’s an account you feel is more suitable, you’re free to open one of those.

During this particularly busy period, please view our savings range online and choose the best online account to suit your needs. You can apply for this yourself and ask us to move your money after.

Alternatively, you can withdraw funds from your savings account or close it.

To open a new current account - you can compare our accounts here

If you want to move to another bank, you can do so with the Current Account Switch Service. It’s a secure and easy way to move in just seven days. If you hold a linked savings account with your current account, remember this isn’t covered by the Current Account Switch Service and you will need to arrange to close or convert this before your switch.

If you would prefer to speak to someone in your local branch, please check Branch opening times before making your journey. We may have reduced opening hours because of the current coronavirus situation.

If you want to serve notice to withdraw from your account or close it, just let us know in writing or by calling in to a branch. If you wish to close your account when the notice expires, please include this information when you send your withdrawal or closure instruction.
