Bonus Reserve

Instant access savings account -
with a quarterly bonus

Saving for business opportunities or future obligations makes sense with Bonus Reserve. You might want to deposit funds to pay your VAT, Income Tax or Corporation Tax bills. Or perhaps you need instant access to funds for opportunities that come up. Either way, we reward you for your efforts.

Open a new Bonus Reserve account between 22 September and 24 December 2008 and if you are an existing Royalties Business Account holder you'll get an additional 2% p.a. (Gross) bonus on your balance for 6 months (from 7 January to 6 July 2009) or an additional 1% p.a. (Gross) bonus for existing Business Current Account holders over the same period.

A conditional bonus interest of 1% (Gross pa) paid quarterly as standard, if you make no more than one withdrawal per quarter.
