Cash ISA
Earn interest tax-free. Select savings from our banking partners,
and spread your £20,000 ISA allowance across multiple products.
Important information - The information on this page is to help you make your own decisions and is not personal advice. Inflation reduces the future spending power of money. Tax rules for ISAs can change and their benefits depend on your personal circumstances.
You won’t find a Cash ISA like this anywhere else.
Through one online account, you can pick and choose Cash ISA rates from our range of banking partners.
Save tax-free in a range of products:
- Fixed rate (fixed rate of interest over a fixed term).
- Easy access (variable rate with flexibility to access your money).
- Limited access (variable rate and limited access to your money).
Choose as many products as you like. Switch between banks as your needs change (with easy or limited access products), or when your fixed rate matures.
That means your savings can suit your needs, without the hassle of holding multiple accounts.
Latest Cash ISA rates
Products can be added or withdrawn at any time. After setting up your account all you need to do is choose the savings rate you want to open your cash ISA.
If you decide to put any of your cash ISA in a fixed term product, you could be charged if you close or transfer your cash ISA before the term ends.
AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) shows what the interest rate would be if it was paid and compounded once each year. It helps you compare the rates on different savings products.
Tax-free interest/profit in the Cash ISA is paid free of UK income tax.
Once you have opened a fixed term product the rate won't change, but rates on easy and limited access products can vary. Tax rules can change and their benefits depend on your circumstances.

Cash ISA Charges
We don't charge you directly to have a Cash ISA, instead we charge our banking partners. This means the same or similar products offered directly by the banks and building societies may have different interest rates to those available through the HL Cash ISA.
Cash ISA Transfers
You can transfer money from your HL Cash ISA to your HL Stocks and Shares ISA online. Currently, you can't transfer money from other ISAs into your HL Cash ISA.
