* AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest rate was paid and compounded each year As every advert for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.
** Without UK tax deducted

Facts at a glance
- Available online only with our free Internet Banking Service.
- You get a choice of a fixed interest rate for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years.
- You need a minimum of £5,640 to open an Internet Only Cash ISA.
- Under ISA regulations interest is tax-free; we pay you interest annually at the end of the tax year.
- You can withdraw money before the fixed term finishes but if you do, there's an interest penalty charge. Remember that if you take money out in the same tax year it was paid in you can't put it back in again. For further information, read the full terms and conditions.
- At the end of the term of your Internet Only Cash ISA, your interest goes back to being variable, but your interest stays tax-free within an ISA.
- As ISA allowances are personal, you must open an account on your own. You also need to be over 16 and live in the UK to open an Internet Only Cash ISA.
- If you invest in a Wesleyan Bank Cash ISA you cannot invest in another Cash ISA with another provider in the same tax year.
- You can transfer in ISAs from other tax years at the same time to benefit from a fixed interest rate too. Once you've made your initial investment, you can't top it up. It is not possible to transfer a stocks and shares ISA into a Cash ISA. Exit fees may be applied by your existing Cash ISA provider.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. This information is how we understand tax rules now.
