How to apply for Vantage.   

Account opening is subject to our assessment of your circumstances. You must be 18 or over to apply.

For each month that you meet the Vantage conditions, interest is calculated daily on the balance of your account at the relevant Vantage interest rate from the second working day of that month. The interest is paid into your account at the end of the first working day of the next month. Rates are correct as at 27 June 2011. AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) – the rate if interest was paid and compounded once a year. Gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law. Net rate is the rate of interest which would be payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

*To earn Vantage interest you must pay in at least £1,000 each calendar month (for example, your salary) and stay in credit during your monthly billing period.  In months you don’t meet these conditions, you won’t earn interest that month. There is no interest on any amount over £5,000.

† To earn £148 a year, you need to keep a daily balance of £5,000 each calendar month for 12 months and meet the conditions of the account.
