Pooling yoursavings
Earn a greater rate of interest by linking your accounts
Pooling your savings together with family and friends is an ideal way of making your money work harder for you.
Our unique pooling facility takes advantage of our tiered interest rates. When a group of individuals open multiple accounts within one Standard Life Bank Savings Plan, everyone in the Plan will earn the rate of interest applicable to the combined balance.
You can pool as many as 99 accounts (belonging to up to 6 individuals) as long as all accounts are of the same type with the same notice period. For example, you cannot mix Direct Access Savings Accounts with 50 Day Notice Accounts.
There is no need to worry that people in your Plan will know how much money you have because all accounts are completely private. No member of the Plan can access details of another account.
