Frequently asked questions

An Easy Access Savings Account allows you to put money in and take money out when you need it. Some Easy Access Savings Accounts offer unlimited access to your funds, others restrict the number of withdrawals you can make in a year, therefore it is important to check the individual account conditions.  Because these accounts offer more flexibility (for example, typically, no notice is required for withdrawals), they generally offer lower interest rates, but they do provide a safe place to deposit funds which you think you will still need access to. Interest rates tend to be variable, which means the interest rate can go up and down.

We offer a wide range of Easy Access Savings Accounts which have been designed to help our Members reach their individual savings goals. This includes Easy Access ISAs, Easy Access Limited Withdrawal Accounts and also Affinity Accounts, which allows you to choose from a range of charities that we will donate to on your behalf. We also offer Easy Access Accounts for young people too.

Yes, you are able to open an Easy Access Account jointly, as long as it isn’t an Easy Access ISA Account. ISA Accounts can only be held in the sole name of the account holder.

Whether you need to pay tax is dependent on your own personal circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. Interest is paid gross on all our savings accounts – except ISAs where it is paid tax-free.
