Easy Access ISA Issue 2

melton tax free savings accounts

A Cash ISA (Individual Savings Account) is an investment that enables you to save annual sums and on which interest is paid free of tax. However, we don’t know if favourable tax treatment will be maintained as  the government not the Society is responsible for the tax treatment.

Account name Easy Access ISA Issue 2
What is the interest rate?
3.50% tax-free / 3.50% AER
Scroll for more >

Interest is calculated on a daily basis and added to the account annually on 31 March.

Can the Melton Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate is variable, which means we reserve the right to change them to reflect market conditions, to comply with legal or regulatory guidelines and to protect the long-term future of the Society.

We’ll give you fourteen days’ notice before any change that would disadvantage you.

For full details, please read our Terms and Conditions.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,035.00.

This figure is only an estimate, based on:

• there being no additional deposits

• no withdrawals being made

• no rate changes in that time with all interest being added to your account

This illustration is just an example to help you compare accounts. It does not take into account any individual circumstances.

How do I manage and open my account?

To open an account, see how to apply below. Manage your account by visiting a branch of the Society or by sending us your written instructions.

This account is only for UK-resident individuals aged 16 or over (subject to an exception for certain Crown employees, their spouse or registered civil partner).

From 6 April 2024 the overall ISA subscription limit for 2024-25 will be £20,000. New subscriptions can be split in any proportion between Cash and Stocks and Shares ISAs as the saver chooses. However, a saver will only be able to pay into a maximum of one Cash ISA and one Stocks and Shares ISA each year.

Accounts can be opened with a minimum of £25 and the maximum that can be held in this account is £500,000. You may invest up to the maximum Cash ISA limit in a single tax year.

Withdrawals have no effect on the subscription limits. This means that once the limit has been reached for the tax year, you cannot make any further investments in that year regardless of any withdrawals made.

Transfers in of ISA funds are not permitted.

  • Investments must be in your sole name only.
  • You must be resident and ordinarily resident in the UK.
  • You will be and must remain in beneficial ownership of the investment and it must not be used as security for a loan.
  • The Society will notify you if, because of any failure to satisfy the ISA Regulations, your Cash ISA has, or will, become void
  • If you die on or after 6 April 2024, the account will be designated as a ‘continuing account of a deceased investor’ or ‘continuing ISA" and interest accrued before and after date of death will be exempt from tax. The ISA will continue until

a) the completion of the deceased's estate;

b) the day after the 3rd anniversary of the investor's death, or

c) the closure of the account.

  • If you open a Cash ISA, the application remains valid for subscriptions made in the next and consecutive years. However, where a break between subscriptions lasts for a whole tax year, we will need a fresh application before subscriptions can restart.
  • In the event that Melton decide to delegate any of our functions or responsibilities as an ISA manager, we will satisfy ourselves that the selected provider is able to carry out these functions in line with these terms.
Can I withdraw money?

Easy access – on receipt of your instruction, and within the time stated by you, all or part of the investments held in the ISA and proceeds arising from those investments, must be transferred or paid to you.

On receiving a transfer instruction from a new manager, we’ll send the cash and accompanying information to the new ISA manager within 5 business days of the date of receipt.

Withdrawals are subject to the limits explained in our savings terms and conditions.
