Customers have the flexibility to make withdrawals at any time and replace the funds without this affecting their annual ISA allowance. A person can also transfer over unlimited amounts of money from ISAs from previous tax years, as these are not part of their current year’s ISA allowance. The account also has the benefit that if a customer has £100 or more deposited, they will get at least 14 days notice if the interest rate is going down . The account has a basic variable rate of 3.8 percent along with a bonus rate that brings the overall rate to 4.2 percent.

Once the balance reaches £250,000, a person can no longer pay any more funds into the account. A person can only have one Online ISA in their name. The account can be opened and managed online.

A person will get the interest rate with the bonus for the first 12 months. After 12 months, the rate will drop to the rate without the bonus.
