What's an easy access savings account?
With an easy access savings account, you can take out your money whenever you need it. This type of account is a good choice if you want to put money away for emergencies, or save up for something like a holiday or a new car. It's different to a fixed-term account, which locks your money away for a set time.
Is there a minimum balance I need to have in the savings account?
You’ll need to deposit a minimum of £1,000 within one month of opening your account. After meeting the minimum deposit, you don’t need to maintain this and your minimum balance can be £0.
When do I get paid interest?
We calculate your interest rate daily, and pay it on the first day of every month. Weekends and bank holidays won't have any impact on when interest is paid.
Can I have a joint savings account?
Unfortunately, we don't offer joint savings accounts.
Can I have more than one savings account with The AA?
You can currently only have one savings account with us.
Do you support Apple Pay and Google Pay?
No, the only way you can add money to your savings account is by transferring it from your nominated account. You can't top up your savings with a card.
Do I need to pay tax on the interest I receive?
Depending on your circumstances, you may have to pay tax on any interest you earn from your savings. Your Personal Savings Allowance will depend on the amount you earn. You can find more information about paying tax on the HMRC website.

We'll need to see a valid power of attorney document, so please have this ready when you get in touch.
How do I notify you of a bereavement?
You can let us know about a bereavement by emailing [email protected]
So that we can help you, we'll ask to see the death certificate and the will, if there is one. We'll also ask for ID for the executor or next of kin. In some cases, we may also ask for the Grant of Representation.
