Tax year end - ISA payment deadline.

Tax year falls over Easter weekend- so if you're using your 2020/21 ISA allowance you must pay into your Skipton ISA before:

  • Bank transfers - 5pm on Thursday 1 April.
  • Debit card over the phone (0345 850 1722) - closing time on Saturday 3 April.
  • Skipton Online or the Skipton App by debit card - 11pm on Monday 5 April.

Any payments received after these times may not be processed in time and might count towards your ISA allowance for the 2021/22 tax year.

Summary Box

Account name Cash ISA Saver Issue 13
What is the interest rate?
Annual Interest 0.20% tax-free pa/AER
Interest is earned daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening.
Monthly Interest: 0.20% tax-free pa/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?
  • Yes, the interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down.
  • Section 22 of our Savings Account Terms and Conditions explains why we may change the interest rate.
  • If you have at least £100 in your account we'll notify you before we reduce your interest rate.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?
  • The estimated balance after 12 months would be £1,002 based on the following assumptions:
    • £1,000 is paid in when the account is opened and interest starts being earned straight away
    • No further deposits or any withdrawals are made
    • The interest is paid annually and on maturity and added to the account
    • The interest rate stays the same for the full 12 months
    • 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 be opened and managed in any of our branches, by phone or by post (a working email address is required when opening by phone).
  • You can deposit from £1 up to your total ISA allowance each tax year (£20,000 for the 2020/2021 tax year), plus any ISA transfers, up to a maximum of £1 million.
  • No joint accounts allowed.
Can I withdraw money?
  • Yes, in branch, by phone (if you've set up phone access) or by post. You don't need to give us notice and there are no penalties.
  • This account is flexible, so you can withdraw money and put it back without affecting your ISA allowance, as long as it's done in the same tax year and the account is still open.
Additional information
  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest would be if interest was paid and added each year.
  • 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 ISA

If you would like to transfer your existing ISA to our Cash ISA Saver, 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.

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

You can transfer your flexible ISA to another ISA, but current and previous years' ISA allowances are treated differently. If you transfer your full balance to another ISA, previous years' ISA savings will no longer be flexible if you've withdrawn and not replaced before the transfer.
