Authorised Push Payment (APP) Fraud – Your Rights to Reimbursement

Authorised push payment (APP) fraud happens when you are tricked by a criminal into sending money by bank payment to an account that they control and which you do not.

From 7th October 2024, under the APP Fraud Reimbursement Rules, victims of APP fraud have rights relating to the reimbursement of money lost as part of an APP fraud. The rules cover payments made within the UK that are made using Faster Payment or CHAPS.

You can find out about your rights to reimbursement from our website or by picking up a leaflet from out branches.

If you think you’re a victim of APP Fraud, you must report it to us ASAP and you can make a claim online, by visiting us in branch or calling us on 01623 676350. Lines are open, Mon-Fri, 9am-4.30pm (Weds from 10am) and Saturdays, 9am-12 noon.

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.
