Need help with jargon?

Here are the five definitions that we think you'll find most helpful.

ISA

Individual Savings Accounts are a special type of savings scheme launched by the Government in 1999 to encourage people to save in a tax-free efficient way. There are two types of ISAs: cash ISAs and investment ISAs (also known as stocks and shares ISAs). A cash ISA is like a normal savings account but, with the added benefit of interest being tax-free. An investment ISA involves your money being invested in the stock market, which means it will rise or fall accordingly. Investments held in an investment ISA are free of UK income and capital gains tax (although, where relevant, tax is paid on any dividend income).

Tax-free

Tax-free indicates that interest is exempt from UK income tax, provided all ISA conditions are met. The level and basis of tax can change and the value of tax relief depends on the individual tax payer. If you're opening a savings account for your child, ask for the Revenue & Customs R85 form to complete when the account is opened or take one with you. Once we get a completed form, we'll pay interest without deducting tax. You can also get a form when you open the account at your local branch. And if you give your child a gift of money that produces more than £100 of gross interest per year, the income will normally be taxed as yours.

Instant access account

These accounts allow you to withdraw all or part of your savings either immediately or at short notice. These accounts are best for rainy-day savings but you will get a better return on savings where your money is locked away for a set period, so think carefully about which account is best for your needs.

Variable rate

A rate of interest that can go up or down throughout the lifetime of the savings account.

Interest

The income you receive on the money that you save.

Important information
1. Instant Cash ISA – Issue 1 is a cash ISA. Open from £1, or £0 for Transfers-In. Applicants must be 16 years old or over. Applicants must be resident in the UK for tax purposes. You must not have subscribed to another cash ISA or used your total annual ISA allowance in a stocks and shares ISA during the same tax year. Rates are variable. Interest is paid monthly on the first working day of the month. The rate quoted above includes a fixed introductory bonus of 0.80% tax-free pa . The bonus is payable for 12 months from the date the account was opened, after which point the rate will reduce accordingly. We may withdraw the availability of Instant Cash ISA – Issue 1, or withdraw or change the bonus offer, at any time without notice. This would only apply to new accounts opened from that time. 
 
2. AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.  Tax-free: Indicates that interest is exempt from UK income tax provided all ISA conditions are met. The level and basis of tax can change and the value of tax relief depends on your personal circumstances.
 
3. 3 Year Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 2 is a cash ISA. Open from £1, or £0 for Transfers-In. Applicants must be 18 years old or over and resident in the UK for tax purposes. If you intend to subscribe to this cash ISA, you must not have subscribed to another cash ISA or used your total annual ISA allowance in a stocks and shares ISA during the same tax year. Rates are fixed for the term of the cash ISA. Additional subscriptions into this cash ISA are only allowed until 5 April 2014. The amount of interest you receive will depend on the number and size of additional deposits and withdrawals you make. The 3 Year Flexible Cash ISA - Issue 2 is a limited offer which may be withdrawn at any time. You may close the account or Transfer-Out the whole balance before the maturity date subject to a charge equivalent to 270 days’ tax-free interest based on the current balance at the time. If there is insufficient earned or accrued interest, (or where you have chosen the monthly interest payment frequency option), the amount of the early access charge will be taken from the funds in the account and you may therefore get back less than you deposited. The charge does not apply if your account is closed during the cooling off period or as a result of death or bankruptcy. If you want to transfer your 3 Year Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 2 to another Barclays account before the maturity date, please visit a branch or call us on 0800 494949.
