Danske Fixed Term Deposit

Save a lump sum for a set amount of time with a fixed rate of interest.

Good to know

  • You can invest for fixed terms of as little as one month or as long as five years.
  • Or you choose an end date that suits you between one month and five years.
  • You can save as much as you like.
  • You can ask for your money to automatically reinvest into a new Danske Fixed Term Deposit at the end of your term.
  • You can have more than one account.
  • If you have eBanking, you can open an account online in your own name (not all fixed terms are available over eBanking and the maximum deposit is limited to £1,000,000).

Need to know

  • You must be 18 or over to open this account.
  • The interest rate is fixed for your chosen term and interest is paid when your term ends (known as ‘maturity date’).

Have a look at our Savings interest rate page for the full range of rates. We may change rates at any time.

Interest is paid 'gross'. This means that we do not deduct tax from the interest we pay. Depending on your personal circumstances, you may have to pay tax on your interest (this may change in the future).

AER stands for 'Annual Equivalent Rate' and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded (paid on the total balance including previous interest) once each year.

Additional information

At the end of the term, we'll move your initial deposit, plus any interest you've earned, to your servicing account (your Danske current account or an instant access savings account (excluding Cash ISA)) unless you tell us you want it paid in a different way.

For terms of one year or more, you’ll get statements at least every six months.

For terms of less than one year, we’ll send your statements when the account is closed and after six months if your account is active.

You can choose digital statements if you have eBanking. Just ask.

Danske eBanking may be temporarily unavailable when we carry out routine maintenance.
