Web ISA Savings Account

A cash ISA allows UK residents aged 16 or over to save up to £5,760 tax-free with one provider, each tax year. With most savings accounts, if you are a tax payer the tax man gets a cut from the interest you earn, that's why it's reassuring to know that with a cash ISA all the interest you earn, you keep.

With our Web ISA you can enjoy the convenience of tax-free, online savings and for balances of over £1,000 you'll get an introductory fixed bonus rate.

Key features

  • An introductory tax-free bonus rate for balances over £1,000
  • Save up to £5,760 in this tax year - ends 5 April 2014
  • Instant access to your savings with unlimited withdrawals - but remember you can't replace the money you withdraw in the same tax year
  • Open your Web ISA with £1,000
  • Transfer in funds from your existing cash ISAs and as part of our Savings Promises you will start earning interest as soon as we receive your application (provided that the funds are free to move and not subject to any notice period)
  • Open & manage your account online
  • Part of our cash ISA range - tax-free interest accounts offering a range of access options to suit your needs
  • You'll need to hold or open a Nationwide card account (excluding Regular Savings) to apply for a Web ISA

Don't have a Nationwide card account?

Consider switching to a Nationwide current account, or you can choose to apply for a Cashbuilder Card account and a Web ISA at the same time.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax).

The net rate of interest is the interest payable after any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax).

Tax-free is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.

The tax information provided is based on our current understanding of current law and HM Revenue & Customs practice which can change.
