Apply for a Easy Access Cash ISA Account

A great rate, tax free

Our Easy Access Cash ISA account is called ‘Easy’ because it is. You get the tax benefits of a cash ISA, while still enjoying access to your money when you need it. Make as many withdrawals as you like, (subject to a minimum withdrawal amount) without giving us notice, and manage your account online. Interest is paid annually or monthly - it’s your choice.

You can invest up to the current limit for the tax year, and if you have ISA balances elsewhere, you can transfer them in to keep your savings in one accessible place.

Terms Explained

AER. This stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. If you left a sum of money in your account all year, the AER would be the interest rate you’d get if we paid you interest during the course of the year and your subsequently higher balance then earned more interest (this is known as Compound Interest). The AER will only be higher than the gross interest rate where we pay you interest more than once a year. We quote the AER on all of our accounts so that you can compare our products with those of other banks.

Gross. This is the interest rate without the deduction of income tax. This is the interest rate paid on your account.

Important ISA Information

View All ISA FAQs

It’s important you have all the details before you open an account. You can find more information about specific cash ISAs by clicking through on the comparison table above. If you open an account and change your mind, we offer a 14 day cooling off period where you can close it without losing interest or incurring penalties.

You can also find useful information below about our ISA accounts.

You can open an ISA with us if:

  • You’re at least 18 years old
  • You’re a permanent UK resident, and only subject to UK tax
  • Your cash ISA will be in your name only (we don’t offer joint ISAs)

You can only open and subscribe to one cash ISA account in any given tax year. You cannot open a cash ISA acting on behalf of an account holder with power of attorney, guardianship or an intervention order.

You can continue to fund your ISA as long as you have a remaining ISA allowance for the current tax year.

Transferring an ISA to a new Shawbrook ISA

To transfer an existing Cash ISA account from another provider across to Shawbrook, you should complete an application for a new Cash ISA. As part of your application process we will capture the details of your current Cash ISA. We will then work with your existing Cash ISA provider to complete the transfer for you.

Transferring an ISA to an existing Shawbrook account

To transfer in an ISA to an existing Shawbrook account, get in touch by secure message from your customer portal and we will work with you to complete the transfer

Transferring from one Shawbrook ISA to another

To transfer your Shawbrook ISA to another Shawbrook ISA you just need to let us know with a secure message from your customer portal and we will complete the transfer.

Please note, if you simply withdraw money from a cash ISA account you cannot deposit funds back into your account if the deposit amount means you exceed the maximum annual subscription allowance, and you will lose your tax free status ISA benefits.

All of our cash ISAs allow withdrawals. However, any money you withdraw will lose its ISA status, and it can’t be replaced. This means that if you’ve already used your full ISA allowance, then withdrawn the money, you wouldn’t be able to add that money back into your ISA this year.

You won't be charged a fee if you withdraw money from your easy access cash ISA. There are no limits to the number of withdrawals you can make with an easy access cash ISA, but the account is subject to a minimum withdrawal amount of £500.

With our fixed cash ISAs, partial withdrawals or account closures made before the end of the fixed term are subject to a fee (also known as the early exit charge).

The amount will depend on the product you take. You’ll be able to find out what this charge is in the product summary for the product you’re interested in. If you’re already a customer, you’ll find it in the product information we sent to you when you opened your account.

All Shawbrook Bank ISAs are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS will guarantee your ISA savings up to £85,000 per eligible person.
