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, depending on the savings account as outlined in the product summary box.

Yes.

You can withdraw your money after giving Recognise Bank at least 95 days’ notice. By providing this notice, you can avoid any penalties.

Notice savings accounts are a great saving solution for those who want good rates but don’t mind locking their money away for a period. Or those who will know in advance when they need access to their funds. The advantages of a notice account are:

Flexibility

Unlike fixed term accounts, you can make deposits at any time and withdraw your funds by giving 95 days’ notice.

Generous interest rates

Committing to a notice account rather than an instant access allows banks to offer higher interest rates.

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.

Your eligible deposits with Recognise Bank are protected up to a total of £85,000 for individuals and £170,000 for joint accounts by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme.
