Special Saver Account

Saving for something special?

If you’re planning a luxury holiday, a dream wedding or saving for something special next year, now’s the perfect time to start. Simply open a Special Saver Account today and you'll have the perfect place to grow your savings and make your plans happen.

At Skipton Building Society, we think your savings should work as hard as you do. That’s why when you put away between £10 and £250 every month for 12 months you’ll be earning interest at an attractive variable rate, currently 6.55% gross pa/AER variable. With a maximum savings amount of £3,000, it’ll help you turn your dreams into reality. What’s more, we’ll keep your money safe and secure for a whole year. For key product information, please see the Summary Box.

How you benefit

  • open an account at any time of the year and get a great savings rate for 12 months
  • you can have a maximum of three accounts running at any one time
  • security and peace of mind when you need it most
  • make as many payments in as you like, providing they meet the minimum and maximum monthly amount requirements
  • for your convenience you can make payments in by cash (branch only), cheque, standing order or transfer
  • your money stays invested for 12 months to ensure you get the most out of your money
  • access your money after 12 months when interest has been capitalised then transferred automatically into an easy access account

How it works

  1. Accounts must opened at a branch or through Skipton Direct. There is also an Online Special Saver Account.
  2. You can open your account with anything between £10 and £250.
  3. You can pay in between £10 and £250 per month, whatever amount suits you. This amount can be varied each month as long as you pay the minimum of £10 each month.
  4. Interest will be capitalised on the account at midnight on the 12 month anniversary of your account opening and this, plus the account balance, will be transferred into any easy access account. Cash withdrawals from this account are limited to £250 per day. There are no cash withdrawals from the online account.
  5. You cannot make withdrawals from the Special Saver Account. If you do need to access your money before it is transferred to an easy access account, then your account may be closed. Accrued interest will be paid to the date of closure.
