The International Bond Quarterly Fee (previously called the Regular Fixed Charge), will increase by 4.5% in 2025. This charge is paid by some customers under the Initial Charge / Quarterly Fee charging structure (previously called the Wealth Management charging structure). The increase is in line with our Policy Provisions and follows a review of overall costs impacted by inflation.
The Quarterly Fee is paid in arrears and on average clients will pay between £7 and £11 more each quarter.
We’ll notify customers impacted by the increase at least 30 days before their bond anniversary date. Their first increased charge will be taken three months after their bond anniversary date.
Impacted customers who pay the charge by standing order will need to update their standing order to cover the new payment amount.
