  • Annual interest – paid directly into your account
  • Easy to open – apply online and start saving today or pop in to your nearest branch. You only need £500 to open an account

  Transferring your existing ISAs

  If you have any cash ISAs from previous years with other ISA providers, you can transfer them to your new Cash ISA 40 Day Notice. So it’s easier to manage your savings, and you could earn a higher rate of interest.

  Making withdrawals

  You can make penalty free withdrawals from your account by giving us 40 days’ notice. If you need to access your money in a hurry, there will be a minimum charge of £30. We will then transfer any remaining balance to our instant access Cash ISA. If you have invested the full allowance of £5,760, you won’t be able to make any further deposits in that tax year even if you have withdrawn funds.
