Those who invest between £50,000 and £99,999 will receive 2%, 3% and 4% respectively, while those in the highest bracket of £100,000 to £500,000 will receive 2.5%, 3.5% and 4.5%.
Interest will be paid annually on the anniversary and on the last day within the term of the Deposit. Issue 4 was launched on 4 January and the first year of interest is calculated daily from the day the deposit is received.
