What is the interest rate?

4.71% Gross / 4.71% AER.

The interest rate applicable to your savings account is fixed once your application is approved and you fund your account. The rate will stay the same throughout the duration of the fixed term. Should National Bank of Kuwait (International) PLC amend the rate advertised before you have fully transferred funds and the rate is lower than the rate you originally ordered, we will automatically cancel your order. We will contact you if this occurs.


What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 12 months on a deposit of £1000 is £1,047.10. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.
