It means that the interest is paid out every three months (quarter year). That means that the interest paid out after 3 months is earning interest for the remaining nine months. The quarterly interest rate is such that this compounding is taken into account for the "headline" annual rate. As a result, if the quarterly interest is taken out, then the total interest earned in a year will be slightly less than the quoted annual rate.
