Interest rates paid on the cash held in your SIPP account
Interest rates paid on the cash held in your SIPP from 5 June 2020
Cash balance Gross interest rate All balances 0.00% Notes:
- When comparing charges between different SIPP product providers, you should also compare the interest rates payable on your cash, particularly if you intend to hold significant sums of money in cash. The amount of interest paid will depend on the amount you choose to hold in cash and market interest rates.
- AJ Bell receives payments from banks based on the aggregate cash balances held across all accounts. The amount we receive will vary depending on the total cash balances held and market interest rates. Over the foreseeable future, we expect to receive between 0.10% below and 0.60% above the prevailing base rate for cash held within a SIPP, although it may be higher or lower when interest rates are volatile. These payments are used to pay interest at the rates shown on our website, and we retain the amount received above these rates to keep our administration, custody and dealing charges low.

We'll take all charges from your SIPP, unless you've requested otherwise. These charges and rates are effective from 1 January 2021. You must always ensure that there is sufficient cash in your account to cover our charges and any pension, lump sum or other payments, when they are due for payment. VAT is only applicable where indicated.
