Annual Equivalent Rate (AER): this is a notional rate used for interest bearing accounts, which illustrates the interest rate if paid and compounded each year. It helps you to compare the effective rates of credit interest on different accounts.
Gross rate: This means the interest rate you are paid without the deduction of UK income tax.
