Features and benefits

Earn 3.35% AER

Earn 3.35% AER/tax-free fixed interest for 2 years.

Fixed interest

The interest rate is fixed so it won't change during the term.

Monthly or annual interest

You can choose to have your interest paid monthly or annually.

Let's break it down

Who it's for

You can apply if you:
 
  • are aged 18 or over and a UK resident for tax purposes.
  • have £500 or more to save.
  • have a national insurance number.

If you’ve already saved into a cash ISA this tax year with us, you’ll need to complete an ISA transfer. ISA rules allow you to pay into more than 1 cash ISA in each tax year, but we only let you pay into 1 cash ISA with us.

How it works

  • Open with £500 or more. Then save what you like within the first 30 days as long as it's within the ISA allowance. This is £20,000 this tax year across all your ISAs. Read more about ISA limits.
  • You can’t withdraw money, but you can close the account early. It's important to note that if you close your account or transfer money to another ISA you’ll lose 180 days’ tax-free interest, so you might get back less than you originally deposited. 
  • After 2 years, your account will change to an Instant Cash ISA.

Summary box for the 2 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

  • 3.35% AER/tax-free fixed interest on balances of £1 or more for 2 years from account opening when interest is paid annually. 

    3.35% AER/3.30% tax-free fixed interest on balances of £1 or more for 2 years when interest is paid monthly.

    You can choose to have your interest paid annually or monthly.

  • No. This account has a fixed rate of interest so the rate won't change during the term.

  • For example, if you deposit £1,000.00 when you open the account, after 24 months you will have a balance of £1,068.12 after interest is paid.

    This assumes:

    • interest is paid every 12 months after you open the account
    • you make your deposit on the day you open the account and you don't add more money after that
    • you don’t withdraw any money or interest.
  • This account can be opened and managed:

    • online
    • on our app
    • in branch
    • by phone.

    Things to keep in mind:

    • You must be 18 or over, a UK resident for tax purposes and have a national insurance number.
    • You need to deposit £500 or more within 30 days of opening the account. After the 30 days are up, you won’t be able to make any more deposits.
    • You must not have already saved in a cash ISA this tax year with us, unless you're going to complete an ISA transfer. This includes Help to Buy: ISAs and cash ISAs with other banks.
    • You need to open the account in your sole name. Cash ISAs cannot be joint.
    • You can pay up to £20,000 into a combination of permitted ISAs this tax year. Read more about ISA limits.
  • You can’t withdraw, but you can close the account early. It's important to note that if you close your account or transfer money to another ISA you’ll lose 180 days’ tax free interest, so you might get back less than you originally deposited. 

    Any money you move into an account that isn't an ISA will lose its tax-free status. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.

    If you change your mind, you can cancel the account free of charge within 14 days of opening.

    After 2 years, your account will change to an Instant Cash ISA. Before this happens, we’ll contact you to explain your options and next steps.

    AER, or Annual Equivalent Rate

    AER helps you to understand how much interest you would earn from your savings over the course of a year. The percentage figure is also useful when comparing savings accounts. 

    This accounts for compound interest. That's interest earned on top of any interest you've already been paid, which forms part of your total savings balance.

    More about AER

    Gross

    This is the percentage of interest you would earn from your savings before tax. 

    Tax Free

    Interest on child savings account and ISAs is usually exempt from tax.

    Adults may be able to earn some interest from their savings each year without paying tax, subject to your personal allowance on earnings, starting rate for savings or personal savings allowance. You also have an annual allowance for ISAs, helping you to save in a tax efficient way.
