Cash ISA (issue 6)

What is the interest rate?

Tax-Free/AER: currently 3.50% variable

If your balance falls below the minimum operating amount the interest rate payable on the remaining balance for that calendar year will be equivalent to the Society's Extra Ordinary Account rate: GROSS/AER: currently 1.45% variable.

AER: Stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year

Can Teachers Building Society change the interest rate?

The interest rate for this account is variable, meaning that it can be changed at any time in accordance with section 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6 of the applicable terms and conditions.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

The estimated balance after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit would be £1,035.00 This amount is based on the assumption that all terms and conditions for the account are met.

Can I withdraw my money?

Withdrawals may be made at any time and without notice. When you wish to make a withdrawal, you can log into your 'My Accounts' service or contact us via telephone to request the funds. The Society will then transfer the money to your nominated account by the Faster Payments Service. Your funds will then be available to you on the next working day, so please take this into account when making a withdrawal (this is not suitable if you think you may need the money on the same day).

This is not a flexible ISA, therefore any withdrawals made will be taken from the current tax year subscription allowance and cannot be replaced.

If you wish to transfer your ISA to another Teachers Building Society ISA or another provider please contact us.
