If you want to earn tax-free interest on your savings, a cash ISA could be for you. You can open our cash ISA savings account with as little as £1 and pay in up to £5,100 in each tax year. Providing you meet the ISA conditions, your interest will be paid gross (without deducting income tax).
If you need access to your savings, you can give us 30 days' notice to withdraw money from our cash ISA without losing any interest. Plus we pay one attractive rate of interest, even if you only have £1 in your account.
