How do I open and manage my account?

You can open an account in branch or over the phone. Please see the ‘How to apply’ section below for more details.

You can open this ISA with £0 if it’s being funded by an ISA Transfer-In (ISA Transfer-In requests must be received within 30 calendar days from the date of account opening), otherwise the minimum deposit is £1. The maximum is £1 million.

You can access your funds and manage your account in branch, or using Online Banking, Barclays Mobile Banking or Telephone Banking – provided you’re registered. Deposits up to the annual ISA subscription limit each tax year may be made throughout the term of the Flexible Cash ISA.

Can I withdraw money?

Yes, you can make 3 withdrawals during the term of the Premier 3-Year Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 8. The maximum value per withdrawal on this cash ISA is 10% of your balance at the time the withdrawal is made.

If you need to, you may close the account or transfer-out the whole balance before the maturity date. This will result in a charge equivalent to 270 days’ tax-free interest based on the current balance at the time. If there’s insufficient interest (or where you have chosen the monthly interest payment frequency option) to cover the charge, we’ll take it from your account, so you may get back less than you deposited. The charge does not apply if your account is closed during the cancellation period, or due to death or bankruptcy.

At the end of the 3-year term, the Premier 3-Year Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 8 will convert into an instant access variable rate cash ISA.

Additional information

Tax status: Tax-free. Interest is exempt from UK Income Tax provided all ISA conditions are met.

Our Premier 3-Year Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 8 is a strictly limited offer and may be withdrawn at any time.
