The variable interest rate payable on the policy cash account from 20 September 2023 is 3.95% gross (4.02% AER*), and is subject to change at any time (it was 3.70% gross (3.76% AER*) between 02 August 2023 and 19 September 2023). AER is the annual equivalent rate and shows what the interest rate would be if compounded and paid each year.
