Summary Box

Charitable Donation

On a quarterly basis the donation amount will be donated to the Mansfield Building Society Charitable Trust. The donation amount will be calculated quarterly by taking the balance invested into all Mansfield Building Society Community Saver accounts at the end of each of the three months, adding the balance together, dividing by 3 to calculate the average balance, multiplying this amount by 0.10% and dividing the total by 4 as it’s a quarterly donation.

For example, if the balance at the end of January was £250,000, February £275,000 and March £300,000 then the average balance in quarter 1 would be £275,000; the Society will then donate £68.75.

Any estimate of the likely amount to be donated by the Society to the Mansfield Building Society Charitable Trust in the course of the next year will depend on the amount invested in all Community Saver accounts opened as part of the Community Saver account scheme. Based on an estimated average investment total in all Community Saver accounts of £10 million in a year, it is estimated that a total donation of £10,000 would be made in that year.

The percentage donation will be fixed until 31st December 2024. On or after 31st December 2024 the percentage donation will be reviewed and is not guaranteed.

Definitions

1. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added to each year. AERs on the Monthly Income accounts assume interest is added to the account each month although in practice the option to have interest added in this way is not available.

2. The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable without tax taken off.
If separate AER/Gross rates are not quoted, both rates are identical.

^Tax free means you won’t pay UK tax on any income or capital gains your ISA makes.

Our savings accounts are exclusively available to UK Residents only.

These account details apply to personal investors only unless stated in the detailed information.
