Easy Access savings accounts

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 (2024/25) tax-free with these. For more information, visit our cash ISAs page.

Whether an easy access savings account is the best option will depend on your circumstances and savings goals. But some of the benefits include:

• Earn interest on your savings while having access to your money when you need it.
• Deposit or withdraw money whenever you need to with no notice.
• Rates of interest for easy accounts are typically lower than for fixed rate accounts or notice accounts but you’ll have flexibility in accessing funds.

You can withdraw money from your account at any point, without giving us any notice.

You can submit a withdrawal request online via our eSavings portal. Simply go to the ‘request’ tab in eSavings and select either ‘withdraw’ or ‘closure’ , and follow the instructions on screen.

The minimum withdrawal amount is £500.

If we receive an online withdrawal request before 9:30pm on a working day (or a request made by phone or secure message by 2:30pm), you should receive your funds into your nominated account on the next working day.
