Find the right ISA for you

ISAs can help you save in a tax-efficient way, as you won’t need to pay tax on any interest it earns (subject to ISA rules).

You can pay up to £20,000 into a cash ISA (Individual Savings Account) this tax year. You don’t have to pay in the full £20,000 over the tax year, or pay it in one go – just what you can, when you can. For more information, read our Guide to ISAs.

Terms, conditions and ISA rules apply.

What’s changed for the 2024/2025 tax year

From 6 April 2024, cash ISAs are only available to customers aged 18 and over.

If you’re 18 or over, you can open and pay into more than one cash ISA in the same tax year with different providers.

However, you can only pay into one cash ISA with us each tax year right now. You can still open and pay into cash ISAs with different providers, as long as you don’t pay in more than £20,000 across all the ISAs you have.

If you already have an Instant Cash ISA with us, you can still pay money into it as long as you don’t go over your annual ISA allowance and you don’t pay into more than one cash ISA in the tax year.

To make the most of your 2024/25 ISA allowance¹, simply top up your existing ISA or open a new one.

If you already bank with us, you can open or top up an ISA in the Barclays app² or Online Banking³.

More ways to save

For cash ISAs, applicants must be resident in the UK for tax purposes. ISA rules may change. You must not have or used your total annual ISA allowance in a stocks and shares ISA and/or an innovative finance ISA, during the same tax year.

Instant Cash ISA – Issue 1: to hold a cash ISA, you must be aged 18 years or over. Open with £1, or £0 for transfers-in.

Flexible Cash ISAs: to hold a Flexible Cash ISA, you must be 18 years old. 3 withdrawals permitted, for up to 10% of the current balance each time. Rates are shown for end-of-term option. You can transfer-in up to 30 days from opening the ISA, and make additional payments up to your annual allowance each tax year throughout the term of the Flexible Cash ISA. Transfers-out are allowed before the maturity date, but only in full, or you can close your account early. Closures and transfers-out carry a charge of 180 days tax-free interest based on the balance at the time. For insufficient earned or accrued interest, the charge is taken from account funds and you could get back less than you deposited. These charges won’t apply if you are within your 14-day cancellation period or in cases of death and bankruptcy.

Instant Cash ISAs and Flexible Cash ISAs are limited offers that may be withdrawn at any time. Terms and conditions apply.

Funds withdrawn from your cash ISA can be replaced in the same tax year without counting towards your annual ISA allowance. Please note that the tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April the following year.
