Fixed Rate e-Bond to 31/07/2018

An e-Bond is available to UK residents only. One account per customer, available as a single or joint account for 16 years of age and over.

1. The minimum initial deposit is £1,000.
2. The maximum amount you can deposit is £2 million for any bond where the term is 2 years or over.
3. Your initial deposit can be made by debit card, transfer from another bank or building society account, or transfer from another account held with the Chelsea (or by cheque if your identity cannot be verified electronically during the application process).
4. We do not accept Postal Orders
5. Additional deposits (minimum amount £1) must be transfers, either from another bank or building society account, e.g. by standing order, or another account held with the Chelsea. Deposits by account transfer will start to earn interest on the day they are credited to your account. To set up a standing order you need to quote the sort code 60-95-95 and your account number which is the first 8 digits of your account number, if you are asked for a reference number please quote the full 10 digits of your account number.
   Please note: you can only make deposits to the e-Bond whilst it remains open to new investors. The e-Bond is a limited issue product, which means it can be withdrawn without notice at any time.
6. Withdrawals or early closure not permitted during the term.

On maturity your balance will be automatically transferred to a fixed rate e-Bond account. You may have the option to transfer the balance into another fixed rate product without the need to re-apply.

The maturity date is:

Annual interest is payable until 31 July 2018 and may be added to the account or transferred to another account.

The interest may be added to the account or transferred to another account. Monthly interest is payable on the last day of the month and must be transferred to another account.

To provide the fixed interest rate, the Society enters into a fixed-cost transaction in the external money markets. We are committed to this transaction for the full duration of the Bond. This means that once your Bond account has been opened, there is no cooling off period.

You will be able to check your balance and view deposit transactions on your account online whenever you wish. We will advise you of the forthcoming product maturity, and generally communicate with you, via email. It is very important that you notify us if your email address changes.
