THE THIRD SCHEDULE before referred toCO-OPERATIVE DEPOSIT PROTECTION SCHEMECODE OF PRACTICE

PART BADVERTISING OF INTEREST BEARING DEPOSITS

INTEREST RATES

32.  It follows from paragraph 31 that all advertisements in which a rate is quoted must include the contractual rate, i.e. the “gross” rate. No rate shall be given greater prominence in size or type or otherwise than the contractual rate provided interest is due at least annually. Where interest is paid less frequently (e.g. after 5 years) the “CAR” must be shown and the contractual rate shall be given no greater prominence than the “compounded annual rate”. Where rates are quoted on the basis of other than a 12 month period, this must clearly be stated.
