Combi Saver 'Green Edition'

Choose the perfect combination

with this exciting new account

The Combi Saver 'Green Edition' is a structured deposit account that allows you to benefit from an attractive rate on your short term savings and take advantage of the potential growth in emerging 'Green' business sectors on your long term savings.

The account is made up of two elements: a Special Instant Access Savings Account paying a competitive rate of up to 8% AER, and a Fixed Term Deposit with interest upon maturity linked to the performance of the RBS Green Index (the Index). You can access your funds in the instant access element whenever you want and you are safe in the knowledge that funds held in the fixed term element are fully protected as long as the account is held until maturity
