What is a Cash ISA?

A Cash ISA is a type of savings account where you pay no UK tax on the interest you earn. You can save up to ยฃ20,000 in the 2026/27 tax year before the allowance falls to ยฃ12,000 for under-65s from 2027/28. With the HL Cash ISA, you can enjoy a range of benefits such as

It's free to save

We don't charge you to set up, manage or withdraw from an HL Cash ISA. Instead, we charge our banking partners who pay us a percentage fee for every product they have on our platform.

This means equivalent products offered directly by these banks and building societies sometimes have different rates to those available with HL.

The Cash ISA allowance is shrinking

For under 65s, the Cash ISA allowance will reduce from ยฃ20,000 to ยฃ12,000 from 6 April 2027. If you can, now could be a good time to make the most of higher allowances.

How your Cash ISA savings are protected

All of our banking partners are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

If the banking partner fails, this means up to ยฃ120,000 per banking licence is protected.

Money held outside of savings products offered by our banking partners is protected by Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) safeguarding rules.

We make it easy for you to switch in and out of different rates, so you can forget the hassle of switching between platforms.

Is a Cash ISA right for you?

Consider opening a Cash ISA if:

  • You plan to use the money in the next 5 years. For longer-term goals, investing offers a better chance of positive, inflation-beating returns. Read about saving and investing

  • You want your savings to grow tax-free, without worrying about paying tax on the interest you earn.

Not right for you? Take a look at the HL Stocks and Shares ISA or compare all accounts. Or, if you're still unsure, read our Cash ISA FAQs for more information.

This isnโ€™t personal advice.

Make the switch

Combine existing Cash ISAs to consolidate your savings and manage your money in one place.
