Fixed Rate Cash ISA to 21 January 2026
A Cash ISA (Individual Savings Account) is an investment which enables annual sums to be saved and on which interest is paid free of tax. However, it is not possible to state that favourable tax treatment will be maintained indefinitely as it is the government and not the Society who is responsible for the tax treatment.
To open an account, please visit one of our branches or forward us your written instructions.
Whilst this product is available, you can pay in any amount up to the annual ISA subscription limit. Once the product has been withdrawn, you will not be able to pay in any further funds to this account.
This means that you may not be able to utilise your full ISA allowance, unless you deposit £20,000 at account opening.
