Double access account FAQs

You simply need to be aged 18 years or over, resident in the UK and only tax resident in the UK. Our accounts cannot be held in trust or by US Persons (meaning US citizens, residents, green card holders or taxpayers in respect of their worldwide income).

You can make deposits by Faster Payments, BACS, CHAPS or Standing Order from your nominated account. You can also make deposits by transfer from an existing Aldermore Personal Savings account in your name or held jointly with someone else (where withdrawals are permitted). Payments to us from any other account will not be accepted and will be returned. We don’t accept deposits by cash, cheque or banker’s draft.

Please don’t send any money until we’ve confirmed that your account is open, as we won’t be able to allocate it to your account and it will be returned.

When your account is open, you can add money to your Double Access Account at any time.

With the Double Access Account, your interest rate depends on how many times you take money out in any anniversary year. You’ll get the benefit of the higher interest rate if you make two or less withdrawals in an anniversary year. If you make three or more withdrawals, the lower interest rate will apply from the day of your third withdrawal to the day before the annual anniversary of your account opening.

Interest can be added to your Aldermore account, paid to any other Personal Savings account you hold with us that allows deposits (Easy Access, Double Access or Notice) or paid to your nominated UK bank or building society account.

You can change the interest payment frequency or destination in internet banking.

There are no fees or charges for standard account services. We may make a charge for any exceptional non-standard services which are made available to you on a discretionary basis.

Things you need to know

  • You can make deposits by Faster Payments, BACS, CHAPS or Standing Order from your nominated UK bank or building society account
  • Interest will be earned from the date on which we receive your money

Under the Personal Savings Allowance, the first £1,000 of income from non-ISA savings (e.g. any interest earned) is tax free for basic rate taxpayers, and the first £500 is tax free for higher rate taxpayers. No Personal Savings Allowance applies if you’re an additional rate tax payer. 
  • The rate of interest you receive will reduce when you make your third withdrawal in any 12 month period from the annual anniversary of your account opening. From the anniversary date the interest rate and withdrawals will be reset
  • A payment of interest away from your Double Access Account won’t be classed as a withdrawal
  • You can only open one Double Access Account, whether held in your sole name or held jointly with someone else
  • There are no fees or charges for standard account services. We may make a charge for any exceptional non-standard services which are made available to you on a discretionary basis
  • We reserve the right to withdraw this account from sale at any time
