*AER stands for 'annual equivalent rate'. We pay you interest on a monthly basis, but AER shows you the rate you’d get if this monthly interest was compounded and paid once a year instead. We provide an AER to make it easier for you to compare our rates with other providers. **We pay gross interest, which means nothing is deducted for tax.

How the Biscuit bank account compares to Santander
Biscuit gives you more value than Santander’s free Everyday account — with higher cashback and better interest.
To earn more, you'd need to upgrade to Santander Edge and start paying a monthly fee. But there’s no need to settle for crumbs. Biscuit is free to open and gives you value where it counts, offering cashback on your bills, and interest on both your balance and your savings.
