How do I close my flexible cash ISA?
The way you close your ISA (individual savings account) depends on the type of account you have and whether you’ve paid into it this tax year.
You can only pay into one cash ISA each tax year. That means, if you close a cash ISA in the same year you paid into it, you can’t pay into another one until the next tax year.
If you want to move your cash ISA to a new provider, you’ll need to ask them to arrange the transfer and you’ll need to keep the account open.
You’ll need to pay a fee if you close your account before the end of the fixed term, unless we’ve told you otherwise. The amount will depend on the terms of your flexible cash ISA and your balance at the time.
If your flexible cash ISA is your only account with us, you’ll need to contact us over the phone, in person or by post to close your account.
