What is the interest rate? 3.50% Tax-free^ each year / AER† (Variable)

(See the meanings of ‘Tax-free’ and ‘AER’ at the bottom of this page).

Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid on 6 April every year.
Can Principality change the interest rates?
  • Yes, variable interest rates can go up or down.
  • If you have £100 or more in the account, we will give notice of any reduction in interest rates at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
  • For more information on changes to interest rates, see the section Changes to interest rates in our Savings Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? £1,035.00

This is based on no further money being put in or taken out of the account and no change to the interest rate.
How do I open and manage my account?
  • You must be 16 or over and be a UK resident (see your Branch Instant Access Cash ISA account terms).
  • You can open your ISA in branch or at an agency.
  • You must keep at least £1 (the minimum balance) in the account.
  • You cannot pay in more than the ISA Allowance each tax year. The ISA Allowance for the current tax year (2023/2024) is £20,000.
  • You can transfer unlimited amounts from ISAs from previous tax years, as these are not part of your current year's ISA allowance.
  • You can manage the account in branch, at an agency, by post or online through our Your Account service at principality.co.uk.
Can I withdraw money?
  • Yes, you can make a withdrawal or close your ISA at any time.
  • This is a flexible ISA. This means you’ll be able to take money out of it and replace that money before the end of the same tax year, without the replacement contributing towards your annual ISA allowance.
Additional information
  • Service charges and costs may apply to the account. These are set out in our Tariff of Charges.
  • In certain circumstances we may refuse an instruction for using an account. These circumstances are set out in our Savings Terms and Conditions.
  • The tax treatment of your savings depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future. This is set by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
  • The interest rates quoted above were correct on 10/08/2023.
