The Bank's Managed LIBOR Base Rate is a variable interest rate and accordingly will change from time to time. It is reviewed on a monthly basis as a minimum. The rate is calculated on the last business day of each month using the average of the three month LIBOR rate published daily for that month and is rounded to 3 decimal places. Where a change to the Bank's Managed LIBOR Base Rate occurs it will become effective from the first business day of the following month.

For example: a new rate that will be effective from the first business day in June would have been calculated on the last business day in May based on the average daily 3 month LIBOR in May.

"LIBOR" is the "London Interbank Offered Rate" and is the most widely used benchmark or reference rate on the London wholesale money market. Further details of this can be obtained from the British Banker's Association (www.bba.org.uk).

All rates are variable (can change from time to time) apart from Fixed Term Deposits.

All current interest rates apply from close of business on the effective date stated.

All lending facilities (including regulated Consumer Credit agreements) with a rate of interest linked to First Trust Bank base rate will be varied accordingly when base rate moves.

Subject to certain exceptions, interest will be paid net after deduction of tax at the basic rate under current legislation. If you are a higher rate taxpayer you may have additional tax to pay.

*Gross stands for contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

#From 14 September 2009, we will work out excess interest at 1.50% per month (at least £2 per month).
