Tax Free Savings Accounts
If you're a taxpayer you really should have an ISA (Individual Savings Account). That's because, unlike other types of savings accounts, you receive the interest with no tax taken off

Here's a quick summary of things to know about cash ISAs:
- Interest with no tax taken off - so for every £1 of interest you earn on your savings, at least 20p is saved from the taxman
- Save up to £3,600 - each tax year in a cash ISA
- One cash ISA per year - with one provider (so you can't split it out the £3,600 between lots of ISAs)
- Leave your savings for as long as you like - you don't have a time limited to withdraw your savings, so can continue to enjoy tax free interest for years to come
- Transfer your ISA - if you like the look of our ISA account but already have an ISA open for this tax year with another provider, simply transfer your ISA account to us
