What is an Easy Access Savings Account?
An easy access savings account gives you easy access to your money. With such an account you can access your savings without giving prior notice, and without forfeiting any interest.
However there may be restrictions on the number of penalty free withdrawals you can make in any specific time period and, although you have easy access to your savings, unlike an instant access savings account there might be a few days’ delay before you have the cash in your hand.
Easy access - if you choose an instant access cash ISA (rather than a fixed-rate cash ISA) it's a convenient way to save at a good interest rate while retaining fast and easy access to your money.
Straightforward transfers - you can transfer your cash ISA to a different provider to get a better rate of interest.
You don't pay tax on any interest you earn from the cash in your ISA
You don't need to declare your cash ISA on your tax return
