Eligibility

To be eligible for this account, you must:

  • be a UK resident aged 18 or over
  • hold a UK bank account
  • apply online
  • Open an account with anything from £1,000 to £1 million. 
  • Once open early withdrawals or additional funds are not permitted.

  • All applications must be made online. You will not be able to view your account online. 
  • You can manage your personal details and redeposit maturing funds using the Existing Client section. 
  • Profit is paid annually, or at maturity if your deposit is less than 1 year, into your nominated UK bank account. Monthly or Quarterly profit payments are not available. Profit is calculated daily.
  • If we change the expected profit rate we will advise you before you proceed with the deposit or give you the opportunity to exit your deposit. 
  • Your eligible deposits with BLME up to a total of £85,000 are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit guarantee scheme. Any deposits you hold above this limit are unlikely to be covered. For further information, please visit our T&Cs page or visit fscs.org.uk
  • These rates are indicative and only apply to the BLME Premier Deposit Account and are subject to availability. We may change the rates prior to depositing. Where the expected profit rate is lower than the indicated rate we will advise you of the new expected profit rate and will ask you whether you wish to proceed with your deposit.
  • *AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. If you left a sum of money in your account all year, the AER would be the profit rate you would get if we paid you profit during the course of the year and your subsequently higher balance then earned more profit by compounding. The AER will only be higher than the gross profit rate where we pay you profit more than once a year. We quote the AER on all of our accounts so that you can compare our products with those of other banks.
  • Gross rate is the profit rate paid on your account without deduction of any tax.
  • Deposits accrue on a 365 day annual calendar (or 366 days in a leap year).
  • As of 27th May 2021
