Understanding AER and interest / profit

Please note, for Shariah-friendly accounts interest is replaced by profit. The notes below apply to both interest and proft.

What does AER mean?

• We show the interest / profit rate as an AER, which stands for Annual Equivalent Rate

• This shows what you’d get over a year if you put money in the account and left it there.

• It helps you decide between different accounts, by adjusting for the differences between them so you can compare them on a like-for-like basis.

How much interest / profit will I actually get?

• This will depend on a few things:

• How much you deposit

• How long you leave it in savings

• The rate (and any changes in the rate if it’s variable)

• How often the interest / profit is compounded (the more frequently, the more you’ll get)

What is compound interest / profit?

• Compound interest / profit is when you earn money on your savings – then go on to earn more on that total.

• So, over time, you are earning interest / profit on your original savings but also on the interest / profit itself.

• This keeps happening, meaning the amount you’ve saved gets bigger and bigger.

• For example:

- You start out with £1,000 in your savings and a rate of 5%, which is compounded annually

- In the first year, you’ll earn £50, bringing your total to £1,050

- In the second year, you’ll earn interest / profit on £1,050 which is £52.50, bringing your total to £1,102.50

- With each year that passes, your interest / profit gets bigger and bigger, even if the rate stays the same.

Aviva Save FAQs

What is a savings marketplace?

Who can open an account with Aviva Save?

You can open an account if:

You're aged 18 or over
You're a resident in the UK, or you or your spouse or civil partner are a Crown servant
You don't have citizenship rights or pay taxes in the US.

We've teamed up with Raisin UK to offer you Aviva Save. You're unable to open an Aviva Save account if you already hold savings account with Raisin UK or one of their partners (Smart Savings from Willis Owen or AJ Bell's Cash savings hub).

What do I need to open a savings account?

How are my savings protected?

When will I receive any interest?

How is my interest taxed?

If you're a UK basic rate taxpayer, you can usually earn up to £1,000 a year tax-free on your savings, known as a Personal Savings Allowance. If you're a higher rate taxpayer, the tax-free amount is up to £500. If you are an additional rate taxpayer, you don’t get a Personal Savings Allowance. If your interest goes above your Personal Savings Allowance, it will be added to your income and taxed at the rate that applies to you. Taxation depends on your personal circumstances and rules may change in the future. To get the latest information on tax on savings interest, you can visit HMRC.

What are the savings account charges?

How long does it take to open a savings account?

There are a few easy steps to opening a savings account with Aviva Save.

Firstly, you'll need to pick a savings account. From there, register for a MyAviva account if you don't already have one. It's the way you'll access your savings securely. To do this you have to be over 18 and a UK resident.

We'll also need a few details like your bank account and National Insurance number. Keep an eye on your email in case we need more information, and for confirmation that your registration is complete. You'll then be able to open any savings accounts you want with Aviva Save.

We'll give you details of the transaction account that you'll use to fund savings accounts you open with Aviva Save. You'll move money from your bank to your transaction account, then it will be added to any Aviva Save accounts automatically - this takes around 2 business days.

We'll send a security code by text or email to complete any transfers.
