Online Single Access ISA

A cash ISA allows you to avoid paying tax on a nominal amount of your savings. The amount you can save or invest in an ISA is referred to as the annual allowance. The allowance can change annually and is set by the Government.

You choose how you use your ISA allowance. You can split the amount you save into any combination of ISAs, Cash ISA, Stocks and Shares ISA, Innovative Finance ISA and Lifetime ISA, so long as the amount invested does not exceed the overall annual ISA allowance. Alternatively, you can save the full ISA allowance in a cash ISA.

Your annual allowance is for the whole tax year (6 April one year until 5 April in the following year), but you cannot invest more than the annual allowance in each tax year.

You can open an account for yourself via Harpenden Online.
