You may decide to retain your client’s SIPP funds in whole or in part in cash, in which case the funds will remain in their SIPP's Bank of Scotland account earning interest.

Interest is calculated gross, on a daily basis and is credited to your account quarterly. The rates of interest are based on the Bank of Scotland base rate, which in turn are linked to/mirror the Bank of England base rate and are paid on the whole balance, not just the part above the threshold.

Where the rate of interest earned by the SIPP's bank account is less than the rate Bank of Scotland pay us across all the accounts we have with them, we will keep the difference.
