Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) were introduced by the Government in April 1999. All income and gains from ISA savings are exempt from UK income tax and capital gains tax. You can find out more information about ISAs and current allowances on GOV.UK.

There are four types of ISA

  • Cash ISA
  • Stocks and Shares ISA
  • Innovative Finance ISA
  • Lifetime ISA

Please note: Hinckley and Rugby only offer Cash ISAs. You can find more information out about the different types of ISA by visiting gov.uk/individual-savings-accounts

Subscriptions

You must not subscribe more than £20,000 in total to a Cash ISA, a Stocks and Shares ISA, an Innovative Finance ISA or a Lifetime ISA in the same tax year.

You can find information below about subscribing to your ISA this year, resubscriptions, and transfers in or out.

Subscribing to your Hinckley & Rugby Cash ISA account

You can pay funds into your ISA account, within your annual subscription limits, by cash, cheque, or electronic transfer. Refer to our Paying into your savings account page on how to pay funds into your account, for further details.

If you have a fixed rate ISA, you will not be able to pay any additional funds during the fixed rate period.

We try to complete all ISA transfers as quickly as possible. The deadline for external cash ISA transfers is 15 working days.
