The pound values and percentages on this page are invented AcornBank product terms, chosen for a realistic bank-style example. They are not current market offers, an invitation to deposit or invest money or a forecast of what a real bank will pay.

A quiet year: what does the account cost?

Assumptions: no incoming or outgoing payments, no borrowing, twelve monthly account fees and no interest. This is an account-cost illustration, not a savings-return table. A payment to another account moves money; it does not create a return. The balance is assumed large enough to cover every fee.
Branch Out Business is business current account in the Current accounts range, used for separating a woodland stall’s takings from personal spending. Its live rate card, summary and worked tables sit above this text and update whenever the product record changes.
Who fits the fictional example?
A fictional sole trader or small woodland business with an adult operator. These are character-selection rules for the demo, not a real eligibility assessment. The scenario assumes the opening amount or limit fits the product range and that any required guardian, notice period or repayment plan is in place. A customer story is not evidence that a real application would be accepted.

What the example does not promise
All figures are invented and shown to make the demo useful to read and crawl. No money is held, no application is available, and no deposit-protection, regulatory or tax-wrapper status is claimed. Calculations do not account for personal tax, inflation or unstated changes in rates. The fictional bank manager can guarantee only that the next paragraph contains no real acorns.
