Things you need to know
- You’ll need to provide us with the sort code and account number of your nominated account. A nominated account is a UK bank or building society account that you can transfer money from and send money to. You must be named as an account holder on this account. All deposits into your London Capital Credit Union account must come from your nominated account and any withdrawals out of your London Capital Credit Union account (including interest payments) will be sent to your nominated account. Payments to us from any other account will not be accepted and will be returned
- You can make deposits by Faster Payments, BACS, CHAPS or Standing Order from your nominated UK bank or building society account
- Interest will be earned from the date on which we receive your money
- Interest is paid gross (without tax taken off). Under the Personal Savings Allowance, the first £1,000 of income from non-ISA savings (e.g. any interest earned) is tax free for basic rate taxpayers, and the first £500 is tax free for higher rate taxpayers. No Personal Savings Allowance applies if you’re an additional rate tax payer. If the interest you earn is less than your Personal Savings Allowance, you don’t have to do anything. If the interest you earn is more than your Personal Savings Allowance, you’ll have to pay tax on the difference. HMRC will normally collect the tax by changing your tax code in the PAYE system. If you fill in a Self Assessment tax return you should carry on doing this as normal. For further details on how tax will be collected, refer to the HMRC guide to the Personal Savings Allowance or visit gov.uk
