What is AER?
Where you see ‘AER’, this stands for ‘Annual Equivalent Rate’ and is intended to make it easier to compare products. It illustrates how much interest would be earned in one full year on an a set amount of money. It takes into account various factors such as how often the interest is paid, and assumes any interest paid during that year is added to the balance and earns interest (compounded).
