Please note that only Irish residents can open a Fixed Rate Savings Account with Nationwide UK (Ireland). Where a customer has an account and subsequently becomes a non-resident, you must close your account or it will be transferred to an Easy Access Savings Account, with the interest rate set to 0%.

The term Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) means that we have calculated the interest rate that you would receive for a full year. This enables you to compare savings interest rates on a like-for-like basis.
