About the Scheme

Skipton International's Recommend a Friend scheme is a reward to customers for telling someone about our Guernsey and Jersey products or offshore savings accounts. There is no limit on the number of rewards for which you may qualify.

If you are a mortgage customer in Guernsey or Jersey we will credit the reward to the account from which you make your monthly mortgage payment. If you are a savings customer we will credit the reward to one of your Skipton International accounts. Alternatively, you may have the award transferred to an alternative savings bank account.

If you're recommending our services, simply download and complete the form, pass it to your friend and ask them to enclose it with their mortgage or savings application.

Once the savings account has been opened or mortgage completed we will arrange for you to receive your reward.

Scheme Rules

  1. Our "Recommend a Friend" scheme is solely for the benefit of existing customers of Skipton International whose savings accounts or mortgages in Jersey or Guernsey have been maintained in accordance with our normal terms and conditions. The scheme is designed as a promotion, which may be withdrawn at any time.
  2. Only bona fide new savings accounts or mortgages will qualify under the Scheme, which means that no rewards will be arranged until newly recommended customers have met all of our normal account opening requirements as laid out in our Terms and Conditions or until the mortgage completes. Loans granted are subject to our Lending Policy.
  3. Signed application forms must be submitted for all new accounts. Qualifying offshore savings accounts must be opened with money new to Skipton International.
  4. No additional accounts opened by an existing account holder or further advances taken out by existing borrowers will qualify for the scheme.
  5. Only one reward per new account relationship will qualify for the scheme. Rewards will not be given for each person (where there is more than one account holder named on the account) or for each account where multiple accounts are opened.
  6. In the event that Skipton International considers that the scheme is being abused, for whatever reason, we reserve the right to refuse to offer a reward, having first explained why.
  7. This scheme is not open to employees of Skipton International or the Skipton Building Society Group.
  8. For a reward to qualify an application must not have been previously received from any other source.

European Union Savings Tax Directive
Information for all EU Residents (including the UK)

This communication outlines the changes implemented, by the Government of Guernsey, on 1 January 2011, to the EU Savings Tax Directive ("The Directive").

Automatic Exchange of Information

If you are resident in the EU (including the UK) gross interest will be paid to you and be subject to an automatic exchange of information with The Guernsey Income Tax Authority.  This report will detail your full name, postal address, account number/s,  date of birth, place of birth, tax identification number (if known) and the amount of interest added to your account/s.  Thereafter this will be forwarded to the tax authorities in your country of residence.

If you are deemed to be "non-domiciled" for tax purposes in your country of residence, we may be able to pay you gross interest without the need to submit an exchange of information report.  To arrange this we require confirmation of your tax status, e.g.  a letter issued by the tax authorities in your country of residence or accountants.

Non EU residents will continue to receive gross interest and it remains the responsibility of individual investors to disclose the interest earned on their accounts to the relevant tax authorities.
