AER stands for annual equivalent rate and shows what the interest rate would be if we paid interest and compounded it (interest paid on interest) each year.
EAR stands for effective annual rate and is the amount of interest charged on an overdraft. The figure does not include any fees or charges.
Gross is the interest paid without taking off tax.

To be able to have a Premier Direct Current Account, you must be over 21 and pay at least £500 into your account every month (or fees may apply). Cash, cheques and your salary all count towards this monthly amount, and they can be spread out over a month. You need an e-mail address and access to the internet.
