Bank Accounts

Vantage is our free add-on for Classic and Platinum accounts that pays you 2% AER CloseAnnual Equivalent RateThis illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. This allows you to compare more easily what return you can expect over time.(1.98% grossCloseGrossGross rate means that no tax will be automatically deducted from interest on your behalf. You are responsible for paying any tax due to HMRC.) variable on balances of £1 - £5,000. Vantage can also be added to existing Bank of Scotland Silver, Gold, and Premier accounts.

No interest paid on balances over £5,000. To qualify, each calendar month simply pay at least £1,000 into your account, stay in credit (above £0) during the monthly billing period, and pay at least two different Direct Debits from your account. If in any month you don’t meet these criteria, you won’t earn any interest but you won’t be charged for having Vantage.

Please note: From the 1st July 2018, we will be changing the interest you can earn on Vantage accounts. The current interest rate of 2% AER/1.98% Gross variable, payable on balances between £1 and £5,000, will reduce to 1.5% AER/1.49% Gross variable. To earn interest, you will still need to pay at least two different Direct Debits each calendar month, pay at least £1,000 into your account during the calendar month, and stay in credit (above £0) during the monthly billing period.
