Do I become a member of N&P when I open a 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond?

Yes you do.

This is a share account, which makes you a member of N&P. This means you can join N&P's general meetings and you have a vote on what's decided in them.

What will happen to my money when the term of the bond is finished?

Towards the end of the 12 months, we will contact you to discuss the best options available to you when your Bond matures.

The N&P variable rate, easy access Holding Account will apply on maturity. 

What are the rules on withdrawals?

You are not permitted closure or early access during the term of the Bond.

Can I open a Joint Account?

Yes you can.

The 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond is available in single or joint names.

When will my account start earning interest?

Cheques paid into an account paying a variable rate of interest will earn interest from the second working day after the day we receive them. Cheques paid into an account paying a fixed rate of interest will earn interest from the day we receive them.

Money paid into your account in cash or by Bankers’ Automated Credit will earn interest from the day we receive it. Interest is added to your account on maturity.

Your money will earn interest up to, but excluding, the day you withdraw it.

Can I be certain that online banking is absolutely secure?

You can with N&P.

Our online system is extremely robust. It is constantly checked by both internal and external experts. Advanced encryption technology scrambles all sensitive data to provide total confidentiality.

You are given a unique customer number and a 10-character password. When you use the service for the first time you might want to change this password for one that's more easily remembered - but don't write it down or make it too obvious, so that someone else could guess it.

Can I manage my account online?

Yes you can, subject to you being 16 years old or over.

Online you are able to:

  • View up-to-the-minute balances on all your N&P savings and current accounts whenever you like.
  • Check all payments and withdrawals on your account.
  • Set up and cancel payments.
  • Transfer funds between your N&P accounts.
  • Send and receive secure email messages about your account.

To manage your account online you'll need to register for our online banking facility, just download an application form, fill it in, and send it to:

Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
Online Banking Applications
Peterborough Business Park
Lynch Wood
Peterborough
PE2 6WZ

The maximum amount you can withdraw online is £10,000 per day.

Is N&P a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme?

Yes we are.

N&P is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, meaning that your money is protected to a maximum of £50,000.

What if I'm unhappy with the terms of my account?

Just tell us.

We make it our aim to do the best we can for all our customers. If within 14 day's (7 day's for all Fixed Rate Bond products) you decide that this account is not for you, we will be happy to transfer your money to another N&P account.
