§ Gross means the rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law. The tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each customer and may be subject to change in the future. † AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
