Interest is calculated each day on the money in the account and paid:
  • at maturity, on the anniversary of your account opening or;
  • monthly, starting one month after the date your ISA is opened, and then each month after that;

    • whichever you choose.
    Can Principality change the interest rate? No, the rate is fixed for one year until the ISA matures (when the account comes to an end).
    What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? £1,045.00

    This is based on you choosing to have interest paid at maturity and added to your ISA and you not making any further payments into the account.
    How do I open and manage my account?
    • You must be a Principality customer with a fixed term savings account coming to the end of its fixed term (maturing).
    • You must be a UK resident and satisfy the minimum age requirements to open a cash ISA (see your Maturity 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA account terms)
    • You can open the account up to 14 days after the date your existing Principality account matures unless we remove it from sale. We can stop accepting new applications for this account at any time.
    • You can move your money from your maturing Principality account in branch, at an agency, by post or online.
    • You must keep at least £500 (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 (2024/2025) is £20,000. You can only pay your ISA Allowance into one Principality cash ISA in the current tax year.
    • 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 keep making payments into your ISA up to 5 business days after opening the account.
    • Your ISA will mature after one year, on the anniversary of the account opening.
    • 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?
    • No, you cannot make withdrawals from your ISA before it matures.
    • If you close, or transfer your ISA before the end of the fixed-rate term (within one year), you will lose 90 days of interest. If you haven’t earned enough to cover the 90 days’ interest it will be taken from the money in the account. This means you may get back less than you originally put in.
    • We will write to you before your ISA matures to find out what you want to do with your money.
    • If we don’t receive any instructions from you before your ISA matures, we will move your money to our Variable Rate Cash ISA or the nearest equivalent we offer at the time.
    Additional Information
    • Service charges and costs may apply to your ISA. 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.
