FAQs
How does the dividend work?
The dividend rate is your share of our profits which is agreed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The dividend is calculated daily and paid once a year, the following working day after the AGM. Dividend payments are not guaranteed.
Do I need to declare my dividend?
Our dividend is paid gross, but is not tax free and therefore should be declared on your tax return if necessary. You may be able to earn up to £1,000 as a return on your savings and not have to pay tax on it, depending on which Income Tax band you’re in. This is your Personal Savings Allowance. You can find more information here.
Can I close my account if I decide it’s not right for me?
Yes, there is no cost to close your account. You will need to contact us if you wish to close your account. Withdrawals and closure are available without advance notice however, please be aware this will affect your dividend payment.
