Please instruct your bank to make the payment as early as possible in the day so that the funds reach our account before 12 noon, UK time. This should ensure that your funds earn interest from the day of receipt. Funds received after this time will start earning interest from the next business day. Please ensure you have received confirmation your new offshore account has been opened before sending funds to us. Also, please remember to read the 'Legal' section below and the Terms and Conditions of the relevant account before sending your money to us.
SIL will not accept any liability for delays in receipt of inward payments; agents' charges, where applicable, will be deducted from the amount credited to your account.
Funds received in any currencies other than that agreed will be converted to the appropriate currency at the prevailing rate of exchange at the time of the transaction.
*Gross means interest paid without the deduction of tax. Your tax treatment will depend on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
