Limited Access
Limited access accounts could give you a higher rate of interest if you don't need immediate or unlimited access to your savings.
Cash ISAs
Cash ISAs are savings accounts where your interest is paid tax free. You can save up to your annual cash ISA limit in a Cash ISA each tax year.
Interest rate definitions:
| AER | AER Stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. |
|---|---|
| Gross | The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax). |
| Net | The net rate of interest is the interest payable after any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax). |
The tax information provided is based on our current understanding of current law and HM Revenue & Customs practice which can change.
