Why a Cash ISA?

A Cash ISA is just like any other savings account except the interest you earn is tax-free. You can withdraw your savings whenever you need, and you don't need to declare Cash ISAs on your tax return, so they can make life simpler as well as save you tax.

Why the Vantage Cash ISA?

The Vantage Cash ISA offers a variable interest rate of 1% gross. There's no introductory bonus which will be withdrawn after a few months, and the interest rate is pegged to the Bank of England Base Rate.

Some Cash ISAs might pay more in the short term, but we aim to pay a competitive rate over the long term.

Over time our Cash ISA should offer good returns without the need to constantly move your account between providers.

• Save up to £5,760 into your Cash ISA this tax year.
• Variable rate of 1% gross - pegged to the Bank of England Base Rate.
• Higher fixed rates periodically available for 1 and 2 year terms.
• Available for new money and transfers.
• Minimum subscription £500 lump sum, or £50 per month for regular savings. Please note fixed rates are not available for regular savings.
• Variable interest rate paid monthly, fixed rates paid at the end of the term.

We have negotiated these terms with Lloyds TSB, and our arrangement with them means the variable interest rate will only change when the Bank of England Base Rate changes. If this link is amended we will provide three months' notice, giving you ample time to consider your options. In addition, we shall publish the rate you receive in your six monthly valuations and, if we have your email address, notify you by email whenever it changes. Within the Vantage Cash ISA you will always know the interest rate you receive.

As well as the variable rate Cash ISA we sometimes offer higher fixed rates, typically for one or two year terms. When each fixed term ends, your money will roll automatically into the next offer for the equivalent term (where available) so you continue to benefit from higher fixed rates. Prior to each rollover we shall contact you with the new rate, and if you would prefer your money switched to our variable rate Cash ISA or paid out simply let us know.
