Branch-based accounts

Important information about opening branch accounts

Our branches are still open but our priority is the wellbeing of our customers and colleagues, so please consider whether you need to visit a branch at this time.

You can open a branch account over the phone, by post or via web chat, and if you want to have a face to face appointment you can use our Skipton Link video appointment service.

Fixed Rate Cash ISAs

If you have a lump sum you don't need access to immediately, take a look at our Fixed Rate Cash ISAs which offer tax-free guaranteed rate of interest for the term of the account. The ISAs below can be opened in branch, by phone or by post.

If you close your Fixed Rate Cash ISA early you will incur an interest penalty so you may get back less than you paid in.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. All ISA and Child Trust Fund interest is paid tax-free, which means it’s exempt from income tax. We pay all non ISA savings interest gross, which means no tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.

Please be aware that products can be withdrawn at any time and without notice.
