Trust savings accounts, or trustee savings accounts, are savings accounts opened and managed by a trustee on behalf of a third party or beneficiary.
View our trust savings accounts including interest rates and product terms via the details below.
Trust savings accounts can be set up for a number of reasons, including to control or protect family assets; when someone’s too young to handle their affairs or are incapacitated and cannot handle their affairs; or to help pass on assets (such as via a will).
With Trust savings accounts, a Trustee manages the funds on behalf of a beneficiary. The Trustee has legal responsibilities and we recommend that they take professional advice prior to opening the account.
At Mansfield Building Society, our trust savings accounts are available for the following types of trusts:
We offer a simple range of trust savings accounts with a minimum deposit and operating balance of £25,000.
Our dedicated Savings Support team can help with opening and managing trust accounts and our Savings Business Development Manager can also liaise with firms managing trusts.
Trust savings accounts can involve:
Trusts can be complicated and we recommend that savers contact an professional legal or tax adviser for help.
No advice will be provided by Mansfield Building Society in relation to the suitability of our Trust savings accounts, and it is the responsibility of trustees to ensure that the account meets the needs and requirements of the trust and is in the best interest of the beneficiaries.
All applications will require a supporting Trust Deed and deed of variation documents (if relevant), a Will (if it’s a Will Trust) and the Trust Registration Document. Both the Trustee and Beneficiaries will also be subject to identification requirements.
For details of identification requirements, please follow the guidance in the ‘You and your Savings Account’ document, available in branch or to download online.
Trusts exempt for registration with the Trust Registration Service (TRS) will need to provide evidence of exemption from a solicitor or tax advisor.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. AERs on the Monthly Income account assume interest is added to the account each month although in practice the option to have interest added in this way is not available.
The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable without tax taken off.
If separate AER/Gross rates are not quoted, both rates are identical.
Tax free means exempt from UK income and capital gains tax in the hands of the investor.
