**AER - AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advert for a savings product will contain an AER - Annual Equivalent Rate - you can compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

†EAR: Equivalent Annual Rate excluding any changes which may be applicable
