§ Tax-free means that interest payable is exempt from income tax. † AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. Cash ISAs are available to individuals aged 16 and over who are resident and ordinarily resident in the UK for tax purposes.

Please note: the tax treatment of ISAs may change. This is a cash ISA. You may only subscribe to (invest in) one cash ISA in each tax year (although in any such year you may also subscribe to a stocks and shares ISA, subject to the overall ISA subscription limits). By opening a cash ISA you will be limiting the amount you can subscribe to a stocks and shares ISA. For further information about ISAs (including subscription limits) please refer to the Society’s leaflet ‘Easy Step Guide to Tax-free Savings’.
