Got an ISA to transfer to us?
- To transfer an existing ISA (excluding Lifetime ISA) to us, you need to complete our online ISA transfer form
- Once we've received this, we'll ask your existing provider to transfer the money to us
- We'll pay interest at your new rate from the day we receive your completed transfer application - provided your funds are free to move
- If there is a delay in the transfer because your existing ISA has a notice period or restriction, your current provider will let us know when it will be free to move to us and we'll pay the interest from that date
- Check with your current provider if there are any costs to transfer your cash ISA
- Cash ISAs will take no more than 15 working days to transfer
- Stocks and shares or innovative finance ISAs will take no more than 30 days to transfer. To transfer an innovative finance ISA you will need to pop into branch
- Remember if you withdraw money from a previous ISA with another provider, you will need to replace the withdrawn money before you transfer it to us, otherwise you will no longer be able to repay that money in to your ISA, and it won't be tax free
AER
Annual Equivalent Rate. AER illustrates what your interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded each year and allows you to easily compare different savings accounts. As every advertisement for a savings product, which quotes an interest rate, will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.
Gross rate
This means that credit interest is paid without income tax being deducted.
Tax-free
This is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
Financial Services Compensation Scheme
Your savings are protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The scheme protects up to £85,000 (or £85,000 each for joint account holders - £170,000 altogether) of the deposits in your TSB savings and current accounts.
Important Information
The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) shows what the interest would be if the interest was paid and added to the account once each year. It lets you compare savings accounts easily. Gross rate means that credit interest is paid without income tax being deducted. Tax-free is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
You need to be 16+ and UK resident to open most of our savings accounts with the exception of Savings Pots and TSB ISAs. For children under 16 please see specific pages for opening procedures.
