Navigating the perfect storm: rethinking development, risk and relationships
Developers, funders, legal advisers and property specialists join our round table to discuss how the development landscape has changed and where opportunity lies.
Firstly, thank you for choosing us to protect your hard-earned money. Now that you’ve chosen one of our savings accounts, you will need to fund it. We’ve set out below exactly how to do that.
More information on how to fund your savings account based on which account you opened:
In this video, we're showing you how to add money to your Hodge savings account. For our fixed rate accounts, you have 14 days to add your money before the window closes. For our Easy Access accounts, you have 14 days to add a minimum of £1 to complete your account opening, then you can add more money any time.
Did you know, we’re now an online-only bank? We listened to customer feedback and transitioned to a digital bank in 2024. Our online banking portal has everything you need to manage your account, any time, any place. From viewing your balance to submitting your maturity instructions, online banking offers a convenient and secure way to manage your money. Because we’re online-only, you can no longer open or manage your savings account by email, phone or post. Don’t worry, you can still call us if you need help or support.
You’ll have 14 days from the day you open the savings account to transfer money into your new account from your nominated bank account. You can make as many payments as you like over those 14 days. If you have an Easy Access account and the balance is below the minimum amount of £1 after 14 days, your account will be closed. For fixed rate products, this minimum is £1,000, please check the terms and conditions of your chosen account.

We use a payment provider called Modulr FS Limited. When making a payment or setting up payee details, you may notice a reference to Modulr finance
If we receive money from any account other than the nominated bank account, we won’t be able to add the money to your account. We’ll return it to the account you sent it from and it might take up to five days.
You may be asked to enter a ‘Payee name’ – please use your full name. Please use ‘Hodge Bank’ as the ‘reference’.
You’ll need to send money by electronic transfer from the nominated bank account you gave us during your account application. We don’t accept payment by cheque.
The minimum deposit amount for Hodge savings accounts is £1,000 except for our Easy Access account, which is £1.
You can make as many deposits as you like into your Easy Access account, as long as they come from your nominated bank account and your account balance doesn’t go over £250,000. Your total balance in all Hodge accounts must not exceed £5,000,000.
If you don’t want to register for online banking with Hodge, the only option when your account matures is to close it. We can’t accept reinvestment instructions by phone, so online banking is the only way to manage your account. If you’re sure you don’t want to go online or can’t use the system, give us a call to begin the process of closing your account and returning your money.
Yes, you can make additional deposits to your Notice Account, as long as they come from your nominated bank account.
Your nominated bank account is the account you register with us when you open your savings account, and is the one you’ll use to send money into your new Hodge account.
To help keep your money safe and protect against fraud, we’ll only accept deposits from this account, and we’ll always transfer money back to it too – whether that’s interest payments, withdrawals, or maturity. If your nominated bank account changes because you switch banks, let us know as soon as possible.
