A Fixed Rate Cash ISA works similarly to aΒ Fixed Term accountΒ β your money is locked away for an agreed period, but you can still access it if needed. Just keep in mind that withdrawing early comes with a penalty.
If you withdraw before the end of your term, youβll lose 90 daysβ interest on a 12-month term, 180 daysβ interest on a 24-month term or 270 daysβ interest on a 36-month term.Β So itβs important to choose a term that suits your needs and access preferences.
Hereβs how it works in 3 simple steps:
Choose the Fixed Rate Cash ISA that works for you β available in 12, 24, or 36-month terms.
Fill in a quick application on our website or via the OakNorth app with just a few personal details.
Start earning tax-free interest. Remember, early withdrawals reduce the interest earned.
