TRANSFERRING FROM ANOTHER CASH ISA WITH US

10.3 If you wish to transfer your Current Tax Year Subscriptions in full and/or Previous Tax Year Subscriptions in full or in part from a cash ISA held with us to this account, this can be done by contacting us. On receipt of a completed internal ISA transfer instruction from you, which meets the requirements of the ISA Regulations, and subject to the terms of the other ISA we will transfer the relevant subscriptions to this account. You must ensure that we receive the completed internal ISA transfer instruction from you within the period described in Condition 7.1.

TRANSFERRING TO AN ISA WITH ANOTHER ISA MANAGER

10.4 You can close your account and transfer all of the funds held in this account (including interest) to another ISA Manager without loss of tax-free status, provided the transfer is in accordance with ISA Regulations. On receipt of a valid transfer request from your new ISA Manager and within the time specified by you, but not exceeding 30 days, we will process the request by sending the funds requested and accompanying information to the new ISA Manager within five business days of the date of receipt (the full transfer process may take up to 15 business days).

Any closure/transfer outside of this process will lose its tax-free status. Any such transfer outside of the Cancellation Period will be subject to a charge of 180 calendar days' interest (Condition 9.2) which will be deducted before the balance is transferred to the new ISA Manager.

TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER CASH ISA WITH US

10.5 You can close your account and transfer all of the funds held in this account (including interest) to another cash ISA held with us, without loss of tax free status, provided the transfer is in accordance with ISA Regulations. If you would like to do this you will need to provide us with a valid transfer instruction. Any such transfer outside of the Cancellation Period will be subject to a charge of 180 calendar days' interest (Condition 9.2) which will be deducted before the balance is transferred to the new cash ISA.

11. Maturity

11.1 This account will mature at the end of 31 May 2027. We will contact you in writing at least 14 calendar days prior to the maturity date with details of your re-investment and withdrawal options.

11.3 The duration of the re-investment ISA will either be shorter, the same or no more than six months longer than the duration of this account. The withdrawal rights and notice periods that apply to the re-investment ISA, where applicable, will be no less favourable than the equivalent conditions of this account.

11.5 You will be able to operate your re-investment ISA in branch, by post, by telephone or online, in the same way as this account.

11.6 If your funds are re-invested into a re-investment ISA on maturity, then we will contact you within 7 business days following the maturity date to confirm your re-investment. You will have the option to withdraw from, close, or transfer your account without incurring any charge, within 21 calendar days following the maturity date (i.e. by 21 June 2027).

12.1 We will notify you in writing if this account becomes or will become invalid because of a failure to satisfy the provisions of the ISA Regulations.

12.2 ISAs are a savings scheme initiated by the Government and, as such, are subject to change by them. For example, the favourable tax treatment may not be maintained and it is dependent on the ISA holder's individual circumstances.
