You can make investments at any branch or agency, at any time, up to a maximum of £100,000.

If you choose to make more than one withdrawal each year, you can give us 30 days' notice to withdraw money from your account without losing interest, but you will lose your annual bonus. If you make an immediate withdrawal or do not give the full 30 days' notice, you will lose 30 days' interest on the amount you withdraw and your annual bonus.  
Interest payment:
Interest is calculated on a daily basis and paid on 30 June each year.  It can be added to this account, transferred to another Darlington Building Society account or credited direct to your bank account.

If you do not make more than one withdrawal from your account between 1 July one year and 30 June the next year, we will pay you a bonus of 1% gross* (0.80% net), in addition to the interest your investment has earned.

To qualify to open a Loyalty Bonus Account, you must have held an account with us for a minimum of three years up to the date the account is opened.  You may need to provide proof.

* - The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law, and the net rate is the rate of interest which would be payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the specified rate. Interest will be payable net after the lower rate of income tax has been deducted or, subject to the required certification, gross. Where the tax deducted exceeds an investor's tax liability (if any), a claim may be made to the Inland Revenue for repayment of tax. For individuals whose income falls within the lower or basic rate bands, the tax deducted will match their liability to tax on the interest and they will have no more tax to pay on it. Individuals who are liable at the higher rate of income tax of 40% will have to pay an additional tax on the interest to cover the difference between the tax deducted and the higher rate of tax due.
# - A.E.R. stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added once each year.
