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.

Cash ISA

You won’t find this Cash ISA anywhere else.

Through one online account, you can pick and choose rates from our range of banking partners. Then switch as much as you like throughout the tax year.

That means you can get your savings to suit your needs, without the hassle of multiple accounts.

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).

Latest Cash ISA rates

Products can be added or withdrawn at any time.

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. Once you have opened a fixed term product the rate won't change, but rates on easy and limited access products can vary.

Tax-free interest/profit in the Cash ISA is paid free of UK income tax.

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.

Protecting your money

FSCS protection: Money held in a savings product with one of our banking partners has Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protection up to £85,000.

Fully regulated: Our banking partners are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority.

Safeguarding: Money in the Cash ISA which isn't in a savings product is held in the transaction account. As Hargreaves Lansdown Savings Ltd is not a bank, money in the transaction account is not covered by the FSCS. Instead, it's protected under the Financial Conduct Authority's safeguarding rules.

Account security: Alongside your usual log in details and account encryption technology, we use two-factor authentication with automatic timeouts to help protect you and your money.
