ISA Review

Yorkshire Bank ISA's offer tax-efficient savings and investments, allowing you to make good use of your tax-free savings allowance and watch your savings grow.

Yorkshire Bank offers 2 types of ISA, the cash ISA, which allows individuals to save up to £5,100  per tax year paying no interest on the balance; and an investment ISA, which works in the same way but rather than dealing with cash, your money is invested into shares and the money you earn is tax free. Investment ISA's carry more risk than a regular Cash ISA, but it also provides the opportunity to provide far higher returns on your investment, and investers can use their full £10,680 annual ISA allowance to invest into this type of ISA.

This means that you can invest a total of £10,680 between cash and investment ISA's. However, you cannot exceed £5,340 on your cash ISA, even if you haven't used your investment ISA allowance. You can use anything up to £10,680 in an investment ISA, but this way round means that you would be eating into your cash ISA allowance, so you could for example invest £6,000 into an investment ISA, but this will only leave a maximum of £4,680 to put into a cash ISA.

You can Open a Cash ISA with as little as £10, so why not get started and build up your tax-free savings account.

It is possible to transfer your existing Cash ISA from your current provider, across to Yorkshire bank. This transfer service is free, but check with your current provider to find out if they will charge you for doing so.
