Guidance

6 December 2024

Updated 13 December 2024

In response to the decrease in the Bank of England base rate on 7 November 2024, the Court Funds Office (CFO) rates of interest payable to clients have been reviewed and from 6 December 2024 these will change to the following:

  • Special Account – decreased from 5% to 4.75%
  • Basic Account – decreased from 3.75% to 3.56%

The decision was made to ensure that the running costs of the CFO service can continue to be met whilst still providing an affordable rate of interest payable to clients.

If you wish to discuss further, please contact the CFO on 0300 0200 199 or email enquiries@cfo.gov.uk.
