The initial commission rate you pay in each quarter is determined by the number of deals you place in previous calendar quarters. Each time you hit a new tier, you will be switched to the lower commission rates with immediate effect. In order to remain at the new tier you must maintain the required number of deals per quarter. The calendar quarters run from January to March, April to June, July to September and October to December. The number of telephone and online deals you place are consolidated when calculating your deal count, but each method has its own commission rates.

Interest Rates
The interest paid is banded, which means that the rates in the table below apply only to the portion of the balance within each band shown, not to your cash balance as a whole. Each band of your overall cash balance will receive different rates of interest as shown below, to give an overall blended rate.
Please note that our interest rates will move in line with changes in base rate. However, where the applicable margin would result in a negative figure, the rate will be zero.
