More information on interest payments:
- Interest rates can be changed at any time
- Interest is currently paid monthly. Our first annual payment was in July 2023 for the period 1st July 2022 to 30 June 2023. For this annual payment, where the account that accrued the interest had no holdings, we did not pay interest if the value accrued was less than £5
- Since this initial annual payment, interest payments are now made monthly in arrears on or around the 21st of each month and there is no lower limit on interest paid
- Interest will not be paid on unsettled cash in accounts
- Where HMRC requires, the interest will be paid net of basic rate tax. This would be in the case of interest paid into our Investment Accounts and Cash Management Account. Interest in ISAs and SIPPs is paid gross.
- We will initially pay interest to the account on which the interest was accrued, but as part of our treatment of income options, for ISAs and Investment Accounts, you can choose to then have this interest payment moved to the Cash Management Account
- We do not charge a service fee on holding your cash, but we do retain some interest which reduces our net rate
- For corporate and trust clients not migrated to our main administration system, we do not pay interest on cash held within Fidelity Cash Park - only on cash held within the Product Cash Account or Cash Management Account. Once the account moves to our main administration system, interest will be paid on cash held. The rate applied will be for Investment Accounts.
