1.Account opening and Account Holder:
To operate an account, the applicant(s) need to be aged 18 and over. A maximum of one Regular Saver Account can be held either in sole or joint names. The minimum opening investment is £25 and maximum opening investment is £500 for a sole or joint application. Where the account was opened from December 2021, a Society instant access account must be opened to run alongside the account(s) for receipt of monies on the account opening anniversary. This account must remain open while the Regular Monthly saver account is still open.
2. Investment Limits:
Maximum investment is £6k. The maximum balance that can be held across all Swansea Building Society savings accounts held is £1m. Where excess monies are received, such monies will be returned using the same method by which they were deposited.
3. Further Investment:
For all accounts opened from January 2022, you must make one regular payment per month via standing order or direct debit (instructed by us) from a UK bank or building society account. Additional payments can be made into the account electronically or from an Instant Access Saver Account held at the Society subject to the total deposited in the month not exceeding £500. No cash or cheque deposits can be accepted. For accounts opened before January 2022, cash or cheque deposits can only be accepted up to December 31st, 2022. The minimum amount that can be deposited in any one month is £25 and the maximum amount that can be deposited in total in any one month is £500. The minimum payment must be received via a standing order or direct debit (instructed by us) payment every calendar month. Where funds are received in excess of this limit, the payment received will be returned in full via the method used to credit the account. (Where accounts were opened prior to December 2021, cash or cheque deposits can only be made until December 2022).
4. Withdrawals:
You can withdraw from your account without giving notice subject to Society limits. Details of our cash, cheque and electronic payment withdrawal limits are displayed in our branch offices. The minimum balance on the account is £1. If the balance on the account falls below the minimum required balance, the saver will have 30 days from the date we issue a notice to the saver to bring the balance back to the minimum. If, after the notice period has lapsed the balance remains below the minimum, we may close the account without further notice.
5. Interest:
Interest is variable and calculated on a daily basis on the balance in the account. Interest will be credited to the account monthly and applied to the account on the last working day of each month.
6. Payment of balance upon annual anniversary of account opening:
For accounts opened after December 2021, the account balance after 12 months from account opening must be paid away from the account into the designated instant access account held at the Society. However, the account holder(s) can continue to pay monthly into this account without a break in deposits. The account holder(s) will be written to at the time of the annual anniversary of the account opening with confirmation of the transfer made.
