Can I withdraw money?

Yes, you can make 3 withdrawals during the term of the 2-Year Premier Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 5. 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 180 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 2-year term, the 2-Year Premier Flexible Cash ISA - Issue 5 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Our 2-Year Premier Flexible Cash ISA – Issue 5 is a strictly limited offer and may be withdrawn at any time.
