“We’ve opened almost as many new ISAs so far this year than the last two years combined, as ISAs have become an increasingly popular option for members wanting to maximise their tax-free savings allowances in a higher interest rate environment.
“Our new Four Access ISA Online offers members a market-leading rate while having flexibility to access their money four times each year for free, and is a great option for savers looking for a home for this year’s ISA allowance.”
The account pays annual variable interest of 4.90 per cent tax-free p.a./AER or monthly variable interest paid at 4.79 per cent tax-free p.a., 4.90 per cent AER.
The account offers four charge-fee withdrawals every 12 months starting from the day the account is opened.
Any additional withdrawals will be subject to a charge equal to 50 days’ interest.
ISA transfers from this and previous tax years’ ISA allowances will be accepted.
There are four different types of ISA, and savers can deposit money into one of each kind of ISA each tax year, which runs from April 6 to April 5.
The annual ISA allowance is £20,000 and savers can put up to £20,000 in one type of account (there is a £4,000 annual limit on the Lifetime ISA) or split it across some or all of the other kinds of ISA.
