Cumberland Plus Current Account

You must pay in at least £750 per month from an external source. Cash, cheques and transfers from other personal Cumberland accounts do not count towards the minimum funding requirement. Transfers from Cumberland Business accounts do count towards the minimum funding requirement and, in the case of joint accounts, one such source of income is acceptable.

If you do not meet the minimum funding requirement in a calendar month, a charge of £2 will be applied to the account in the following month. The charge will be applied for every calendar month that the minimum funding requirement is not met. The charge will not be applied if the average balance of your account during a calendar month is £1,000 or above and your account has remained in credit.

1. Applications from 13-15 year olds must be approved by a parent/guardian.
2. You must fund your account with at least £200 per month from an external source. Transfers from other personal Cumberland accounts (except current accounts which require funding of £750 or more per month) will not count towards the minimum funding requirement. Transfers from Cumberland Business accounts will count towards the minimum funding requirement. This requirement does not apply to customers under 24 years of age. In the case of joint accounts, one such source of income is acceptable.
3. If you do not meet the minimum funding requirement in a calendar month, a charge of £2 will be applied to the account in the following month. The charge will be applied for every calendar month that the minimum funding requirement is not met. The charge will not be applied if the average balance of your account during a calendar month is £1,000 or above and your account has remained in credit. Further details of this charge can be found in the ‘Account Funding’ section of our Current Accounts leaflet.
4. The provider of an ATM or retailer may also apply a charge.
5. In the case of joint accounts, all account holders must be over 18 for a cheque book to be issued. The £5 charge for a cheque book will not apply if the account holder also holds a current account which requires funding of £750 or more per month.

7. Effective Annual Rate (EAR) is the actual annual rate of an arranged overdraft. It does not take into account other fees and charges.
8. Gross interest is the contractual rate of interest payable (without deduction of tax) and you will be responsible for paying any tax you owe on interest as per your individual personal savings allowance.
9. Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.

On 6 April 2016, the Government introduced a Personal Savings Allowance, which is the amount of interest you can earn on your savings without paying tax. This applies to individuals only, as businesses, charities and clubs, already receive interest without tax.

The tax-free allowance on savings is £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and £500 for higher rate taxpayers. There is no allowance for additional rate taxpayers.

As a result, tax is no longer deducted from the interest paid on your savings accounts, investments and current accounts.
