Savings terms explained
Tax free means you won’t pay income tax on your interest.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. Whenever you see an advert for a savings account, which shows an interest rate, you’ll see the AER. This means you can use the AER to compare accounts. It shows what the interest rate would be if your interest was paid and compounded once each year.
