Gatehouse Bank has launched a new regular saver account, the first Shariah-compliant product of its kind in the UK. The account, which can be opened with a minimum deposit of £1, is available to all UK residents aged 18 and over but is especially well-suited to young people and those with smaller deposits. Customers can make monthly deposits of up to £300, which can be done through an unlimited number of transactions. The product comes with a variable expected profit rate of 7%, which is paid at the end of the term, meaning that customers will build up a savings fund regardless of how little they invest. Withdrawals are not permitted until the end of the term, after which the account will automatically roll over into a Gatehouse Bank easy access account.
