Interest Policy and banking arrangements in relation to monies held on behalf of clients. The objective of the firm is to account to clients or other relevant people for whom we hold monies, a sum in lieu of interest on a fair and reasonable basis.
When we receive money from or on behalf of a client, it will be paid into a general client account with Barclays Bank who are the firm’s primary banker.
The firm does not pay the full rate of interest that it earns on general client funds as this is an enhanced rate that the firm can secure from holding large levels of client funds in aggregate.
In determining the period over which interest is to be calculated we will accrue interest on cleared funds from the day following receipt, and for uncleared funds seven days after receipt into the general client bank account of the firm.
In the event that the calculated total interest due to the client on a specific matter is less than £50 then no interest will be payable to the client, as it is considered that such a sum may be reasonably retained by the firm to cover the administrative cost of managing client funds.
We will generally calculate and pay interest on a quarterly basis. The rate of interest the firm pays fluctuates depending upon the rate the firm can secure from its bankers from time to time.
Interest Rates – Following the reduction in the Bank of England base rate, from 1 October 2016 no interest is payable on monies held on behalf of clients.
