Important Information: New customers must live within our operating area to open a Savings account.
A Cash ISA savings account is just the same as its non-ISA equivalent but has a special tax status to ensure you incur no tax liability on the interest earned. You may only contribute new money to one Cash ISA in a tax year, but you can complete an ISA transfer from existing ISA accounts into a new one. You can do this by speaking to your new ISA provider. New funds transferred using the ISA transfer process do not count towards your current year’s annual allowance.
ISA rates may differ from the rates of their non-ISA equivalent.
Although under current tax rules many savers may not have to pay tax on savings interest in non-ISA accounts, an ISA ensures that regardless of your income, total interest earned or any other relevant circumstances you incur no tax liability plus your balance is shielded in the ISA wrapper for future years.
