A notice account is a type of savings account which requires you to give a set period of notice before withdrawing funds.
Notice periods can vary from several weeks to months.
Business depositors can withdraw money from this type of account after giving 180 days’ notice.
Notice savings accounts can benefit your business in several ways:
Flexibility
Unlike fixed term accounts, you can make deposits at any time and withdraw your funds by giving 180 days’ notice.
Generous interest rates
Committing to a notice account rather than an instant access allows banks to offer higher interest rates.
Opening and managing an account is easy with Recognise Bank. Simply apply online or call a member of our team for advice on how to get started.

The calculation assumes that:
- Your initial deposit is paid into the account on the day it is opened.
- It is not a leap year.
- No further deposits or withdrawals are made during the 12 month period.
- The interest rate does not vary during the 12 month period.
The calculation is for illustrative purposes only and does not consider your individual circumstances.
Cut-off times for deposit and withdrawal instructions refer to the latest time of day you can issue an instruction before it rolls over to the next day.
Recognise Bank’s cut-off time for withdrawals is 2pm. If you request a withdrawal before that time, we will action the request on the same day.
We will do it on the following business day if you request it after that time.
Please be aware you are required to make your initial deposit within 14 days of opening your account.

When you deposit money into a savings account, your bank will pay interest into your chosen account either monthly or annually.
The amount of much interest you earn depends on the type of savings account and in accordance with the terms and conditions.
Fixed interest rates – will not change for the duration of your account term and will not be affected by the Bank of England Base Rate.
Variable interest rates – the interest is not set and can go up and down, often influenced by the Bank of England Base Rate.
