Notice accounts are a good way to save for the future and earn a rate of interest which tends to be higher than instant access. Plan ahead and give us notice of when you want access to your money. Notice accounts are not suitable should you want immediate access to your savings but these accounts give you a structure to put money away for the future whilst knowing that should circumstances or plans change you can quickly access your funds.
