Your distance contract with Investec is the arrangements that govern the opening by you of one or more deposit accounts with Investec
(your “Distance Contract”). Investec offers you those deposit accounts subject to the terms and conditions applicable to those deposit
accounts, available on this website www.investec.ie (the “Terms and Conditions”). A wide range of deposit accounts are available, from
short-term call accounts to long-term deposit and notice accounts. Further details are available on this website or from Investec
directly (Telephone: + 353 1 421 0000; Email: [email protected]; Address: The Harcourt Building, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2).
The Terms and Conditions set out details of the total price payable by you to Investec for your deposit account(s), including all
related fees, charges and expenses, and all taxes paid through Investec. If the exact total price cannot be specified due to the
nature of the deposit product in question, then the Terms and Conditions will set out the basis on which the total price will be
calculated.
You should note the possibility that other taxes and costs may exist that are neither paid by Investec, nor imposed by Investec.
You should also note that the Terms and Conditions contain the arrangements and obligations for the making of payments, and the
performance of obligations in relation to your deposit accounts.
You have the right to cancel your Distance Contract with Investec within 14 days of the Effective Date (defined in the Terms and

You may cancel your Distance Contract within that 14-day period by notifying Investec in writing at the following address: The
Harcourt Building, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2 (you can deliver this notice by hand or send it by registered post), by faxing Investec

If, between the Effective Date and cancelling your Distance Contract, you have deposited funds in the relevant deposit account and
Investec has credited you with interest in respect thereof, you are obliged to repay that interest to Investec (together with any
related fees and costs) within 30 days. Investec shall return those deposited funds to you by electronic transfer or by any other
method that may be more convenient for Investec.
If you do not cancel your Distance Contract within the 14-day period, you will remain bound by the Terms and Conditions however, you
will still be entitled to terminate your Distance Contract in the manner set out in the Terms and Conditions. The Terms and Conditions
set out how you can terminate your Distance Contract and any costs that you might incur if you do so.

The Bank is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the “FSCS”) established under the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 in the UK. The FSCS provides for the establishment of a compensation scheme and the payment, in certain
circumstances, of compensation to certain customers. The right to compensation under the FSCS will only arise if the customer is an
“Eligible claimant” (as defined in the FSA Handbook), if the Bank is unable to pay claims made against it in certain
circumstances and to the extent that the claimant’s loss is recognised by the FSCS. Where an entitlement to compensation in respect
of a deposit is established under the FSCS, the FSCS can pay compensation for financial loss of 100% of the amount of the deposit
(subject to a cap of £75,000). Further details of the FSCS are available on request.
Your Distance Contract with Investec will be governed by and construed in accordance with Irish law. The Irish courts will have
jurisdiction to determine any dispute arising under your Distance Contract. All information provided by Investec to you in connection
