All Fixed interest rates quoted are in Annual Equivalent Rates. This is a notional rate, which illustrates what the credit interest will be if interest were paid for a full calendar year. The interest will accrue for each calendar day in a month.

For investment funding accounts interest will be calculated based on your minimum monthly balance and paid into the accounts in January and July.

Interest on UAE Dirhams and United States Dollars are calculated on a 360 day basis.

Fixed interest rates are subject to change from time to time at the sole discretion of the Bank. This change will automatically reflect in the investment funding accounts. We will notify you of any changes to the Fixed interest rate before they happen in line with the Personal Banking Terms and Conditions.

Fees

Please note that WorldTrader offers tiered trading fees in all markets except Mexico, so the more you trade, the less you pay.

In the US and Canada, the tiers are determined by the volume of trades you make per month. In all other markets, they are determined by the value of trades you make per month.

We will charge you an administration fee based on each fixed income product or equity security held in your IBUK investment account. We will calculate our administration fee on a daily basis for so long as you continue to hold these products.
