At Shawbrook our Easy Access Account really is easy. You can request a withdrawal at any time (subject to a minimum withdrawal amount) and the funds will be in your account the next working day. You can add funds whenever you like (up to the account maximum balance), and you manage your account online. Interest is paid annually or monthly - it’s your choice.
Before you apply for an account please read the product summary below and the:

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.

Want to know more about the easy access savings accounts we offer? Explore below.
An easy access account is a savings account that allows you to withdraw money without notice. Designed for saving, these will typically offer a higher rate of interest than a current account.
Easy access savings accounts offer a great deal of flexibility. With Shawbrook, you can make unlimited withdrawals (subjected to a minimum amount) without giving us any notice. You can also manage your account online, and deposit as much as you like (up to the account’s maximum balance). The choice is yours to decide whether to receive interest annually or monthly.
Shawbrook also offers easy access cash ISAs. You can deposit up to £20,000 in the current tax year (2023/24) tax-free with these. For more information, visit our cash ISAs page.
If you want to earn interest on your money while still accessing your funds, an easy access savings account could be the best option for you.

You can withdraw money as often as you like, and there is no notice required.
You can make withdrawals and deposits at any time, but they must only be to and from your nominated account.
The minimum account withdrawal amount is £500. If we receive an online withdrawal request before 9:30pm on a working day (or a request by phone or secure message by 2:30pm), you should receive your funds into your nominated account on the next working day.
