Interest on Cash

The annualised rate of interest earned on Transact pooled cash for May 2024 was 4.94% (paid monthly) and this has been credited to client portfolios.

We use seven UK licensed banks: Barclays, Cater Allen, Clydesdale, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest and Santander and our treasury function expertly manages the cash across different notice periods (up to 95 days – the maximum allowed under the FCA’s client money rules).

It’s possible for the interest earned on a client’s cash holding to cover Transact’s annual charges, for example:
