What's an easy access savings account?
With an easy access savings account, you can take out your money whenever you need it. This type of account is a good choice if you want to put money away for emergencies, or save up for something like a holiday or a new car. It's different to a fixed-term account, which locks your money away for a set time.
Is there a minimum balance I need to have in the savings account?
No minimum balance is needed to open or maintain the account.
How does the bonus rate work?
You’ll earn a bonus rate on top of your variable interest rate for the first 12 months after opening your account. When your bonus rate is due to expire, we’ll contact you to let you know. You’ll then continue to earn the variable rate available on your account at that time. You can find this information in your account's summary box.
Can I renew my bonus rate once it expires?
Your bonus rate will last for 12 months from account opening, and you won’t be able to renew it. You’ll continue to earn the variable rate of interest.
When do I get paid interest?
We calculate your interest rate daily, and pay it on the first day of every month. Weekends and bank holidays won't have any impact on when interest is paid.
Can I have a joint savings account?
Unfortunately, we don't offer joint savings accounts.
Can I have more than one savings account with The AA?
You can currently only have one savings account with us.
Do you support Apple Pay and Google Pay?
No, the only way you can add money to your savings account is by transferring it from your nominated account. You can't top up your savings with a card.
Do I need to pay tax on the interest I receive?
Depending on your circumstances, you may have to pay tax on any interest you earn from your savings. Your Personal Savings Allowance will depend on the amount you earn. You can find more information about paying tax on the HMRC website.
