These terms and conditions apply if your Fixed Rate e-Bond or Loyalty Fixed Rate e-Bond was opened between 7 June 2017 and 30 April 2018.

In addition to the Savings General Terms and Conditions, the following terms and conditions apply to Fixed Rate e-Bonds and Loyalty Fixed Rate e-Bonds only. If there’s a conflict between the Savings General terms and conditions and these Fixed Rate e-Bond and Loyalty Fixed Rate e-Bond terms and conditions, these Fixed Rate e-Bond and Loyalty Fixed Rate e-Bond terms and conditions will take priority.

10. The account can’t be operated by a trustee or Power of Attorney and can’t be opened with a Nationwide current account that’s run by a Power of Attorney unless we’ve got evidence of physical or mental incapacity.
11. On maturity, the balance in the account together with interest will automatically be converted to a savings maturity account. We’ll contact you with more information before your e-Bond matures.
12. The account is for a fixed term of 6 or 18 months, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years starting on the date the account is opened and ending after 6 or 18 calendar months or on the first, second, third, fourth or fifth anniversary of the opening of the account, depending on the bond chosen. We only offer certain fixed terms of the Loyalty Fixed Rate e-Bonds and Fixed Rate e-Bonds which you can find by visiting our website, logging onto the Internet Bank or Banking app.

17. If your term includes part of a year your early access charge will be calculated based on the next whole year e.g. 18 month term = the 2 year early access charge.
18. The amount of the early access charge will depend on the term of the account and will be equivalent to the number of days’ interest at the prevailing rate as detailed in the table above. If there’s insufficient earned interest, then the amount of the early access charge will be taken from the funds in the account.
19. The funds in the account, together with any interest earned and less the early access charge, will be paid to you.
