Who this ISA is for

Who this ISA is for

This is for Reward Current Account or Ultimate Reward Current Account customers. It's ideal if you don't need to make regular withdrawals.

You must be a UK resident for tax purposes, aged 18 or over with a national insurance number.

If you've already saved into a cash ISA this tax year, you'll need to complete an ISA transfer. This includes Help to Buy: ISAs and cash ISAs with other banks.

The benefits

The benefits

  • Earn 4.20% AER/4.12% tax free variable interest if 3 or less withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening. How this worksIf you make three or less withdrawals within the 12 month term, you’ll get paid the higher rate of interest for the whole term. Your interest will be paid monthly, on the same date you opened the account.
  • Earn 1.35% AER/1.34% tax free variable interest if 4 or more withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening. How this worksIf you make 4 or more withdrawals, you’ll get a lower interest rate from the month you make the 4th withdrawal until the end of the account year. Interest is paid monthly, on the same date you opened the account.
  • This is a flexible ISA, so if you make a withdrawal, you can pay that money back in to this account before the end of the tax year and not affect the amount you can save in your cash ISA tax free.
  • Over 1,600 customers a month win up to £100,000 in our Halifax Savers Prize Draw.

Summary box for the ISA Reward Bonus Saver

  • Earn 4.20% AER/4.12% tax free variable interest on balances from £1 if 3 or less withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening.

    Earn 1.35% AER/1.34% tax free variable interest on balances from £1 if 4 or more withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening. This lower interest rate will apply from the month you make the fourth withdrawal until the end of the account year.

    Interest is paid monthly, on the same date you open your account.

  • Yes. As this account pays a variable rate of interest it can change over time. We’ll always let you know of any planned changes to the rate. Our account conditions (PDF, 210KB) explain when and how we do this. For example we might review the interest rate if the Bank of England base rate changes.

  • For example, if you deposit £1,000 when you open the account and make no withdrawals, the balance after 12 months will be £1041.98.

    If you deposit £1,000 when you open the account and withdraw £10 on the first day of the month for the first 4 months of the term, the balance after 12 months will be £979.83.

    This assumes:

    • You make your deposit on the day you open the account.
    • You don’t add any more money.
    • The interest rate stays the same.

  • This account can be opened and managed

    • online
    • on our app
    • in branch
    • by phone

    Opening this account

    You can open this account if you:

    You must open with at least £1.
    You can transfer an ISA you have with us or another bank. Find out how to transfer an ISA. 

    Managing the account

    As with all ISAs, there are some rules:

    • Cash ISAs cannot be joint accounts.
    • You can save up to £20,000 into a combination of permitted ISAs this tax year.
    • You can only save into one cash ISA in a tax year, unless you do an ISA transfer. This includes Help to Buy: ISAs and cash ISAs with other banks.
    • If you have already saved into another cash ISA this tax year, you'll need to do an ISA transfer and move over the money you saved in this tax year. This includes cash ISAs with us or another bank.

    If you change your mind, you can cancel the account free of charge within 14 days of opening.

  • Yes. You can make withdrawals from this account and there are no charges for doing so.

    You’ll get a higher rate of interest if you make 3 or less withdrawals in the twelve months from opening. If you make 4 or more withdrawals, you’ll get a lower interest rate from the month you make the fourth withdrawal until the end of the account year.

    Closing your account counts as a withdrawal.

    This is a flexible ISA, so if you make a withdrawal, you can pay that money back in to this account before the end of the tax year and not affect the amount you can save in your cash ISA tax free.

    Any money you move to an account that isn't an ISA will lose its tax-free status. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in future.

    After 12 months the account will change to an Instant ISA Saver. Before this happens, we'll contact you to explain your options and next steps.

  • Savings terms explained

    Tax free means you will not pay income tax on your interest.

    AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. Whenever you see an advert for a savings account which shows an interest rate, you will see the AER. This means you can use the AER to compare accounts. It shows what the interest rate would be if your interest was paid and compounded once each year.
