Signature Savings Account

Linked savings and current account

When you open a Signature Current Account, you can also get an interest-paying Signature Savings Account.

Your Signature Savings Account gives you access to your money through your linked Signature Current Account via our telephone, internet and mobile banking services.

What you get

A linked savings and current account.

  • Transfers to and from your Signature Current Account to help you gain interest, via our internet, telephone banking, mobile banking or in branch services.
  • Offset your Signature Current Account and Signature Savings Accounts against a Yorkshire Bank Offset Mortgage - offsetting means you can use the money in your savings account to reduce the amount of interest you pay on your mortgage. Remember, no credit interest will be paid on account credit balances that are used for offsetting.
  • Interest calculated daily (paid on last business day of calendar quarter)
