Summary Box

Account name 1 Year Online Fixed Rate Cash ISA Issue 68
What is the interest rate?
Annual Interest 1.31% tax-free pa/AER
Interest is earned daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening.
Monthly Interest: 1.30% tax-free pa/1.31%AER
Interest is earned daily and each month's interest is paid on the same date your account was opened or the last day of the month if shorter.
Can Skipton Building Society change the interest rate? The interest rate is fixed for the term of this account.
What would the estimated balance be at the end of the fixed term based on a £1,000 deposit?
  • The estimated balance after the fixed term would be £1,013 assuming that;
    • the account is opened with £1,000 and interest starts being earned straight away
    • no further deposits or any withdrawals are made
    • the interest is paid annually and added to the account.
  • Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only and may be less for accounts opened by debit card or cheque.
How do I open and manage my account?
  • This account is available to UK residents aged 16 or over and can only be opened and managed online.
  • The first payment into the account can be by debit card, internal transfer from another Skipton account or electronic payment (but not direct debit) from another UK bank or building society. You can also transfer ISA savings in from other providers via our ISA transfer service. After opening, you can also pay in by cash (in branch only, and we'll need to see some photographic ID for the first cash payment) or cheque (in branch or by post).
  • During the first 7 days from account opening you can:
    • deposit up to your total ISA allowance (£20,000 for 2018/2019)
    • make a request for an ISA transfer in.
    After this your account may be closed to further deposits at any time and without notice
  • You can save from £500 up to £1 million.
  • No joint accounts allowed
Can I withdraw money?
  • You can't withdraw part of your account balance, however you can close your account at any time and withdraw the full balance online or transfer it to another ISA provider. If you do this you'll lose 120 days' interest. This will be taken from your savings if you haven't earned enough interest on the account, and means you might get back less than you've paid in.
  • At the end of the fixed interest rate term, which is also known as 'maturity', your account will automatically transfer into a new 1 Year Online Fixed Rate Cash ISA, unless you tell us otherwise, and you'll have 21 days to change your mind.
  • We'll contact you before maturity and you can find out more about the maturity process in condition 8 of the further terms and conditions.
Additional information
  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest would be if interest was paid and added each year. The AER allows you to compare the interest rates on savings accounts. The higher the AER, the better return on your savings.
  • All ISA interest is paid tax-free, which means it's exempt from income tax. Tax rules may change in future.
  • Accounts can be withdrawn from sale at any time and without notice.

Transferring your Cash ISA

If you would like to transfer your existing ISA to our 1 Year Online Fixed Rate Cash ISA, please read our Transferring Your ISA page.

If you would like to transfer your Cash ISA held with Skipton to another ISA provider, you will need to complete the ISA Transfer Authority Form supplied by your new provider. Transfers to other ISA providers and subsequent closure of this account during the fixed term are subject to 120 days interest penalty which may mean you get back less than you paid in.

Annual subscriptions must always be transferred in full for the current tax year.
