Kingston Unity is a Friendly Society in Yorkshire that has been helping its members to secure their financial future since 1840.
Investment ISA
The Kingston Unity Friendly Society Investment ISA is a tax-free savings account that let you invest a regular amount or a lump sum, up to £20,000 tax-free in the 2023/24 tax year.
You can save from £25 per month, a lump sum of £500 or more or a combination of the two. The company’s expertly managed With Profits fund invests in a range of assets, delivering the potential of a greater return than the more common Cash ISA while protecting your savings from unpredictable markets.
The product gives a guaranteed return of your initial investment on the 10th anniversary or each subsequent 5th anniversary, which means you will be able to withdraw all the money paid into your ISA as well as all bonuses added, less withdrawals already made.
Friends & Family Junior ISA
The Kingston Unity Friendly Society’s Junior ISA is an innovative way to make saving for your child’s future simple, quick and flexible, enabling parents, godparents, grandparents and friends to easily add money to a child’s savings account via a secure web link.
Then in years to come, this savings pot could help pay towards those significant life events like a new car or help towards university living costs. The company’s expertly managed With Profits fund invests in a range of assets, delivering the potential of a greater return than the more common Cash ISA while protecting your savings from unpredictable markets.
You can save up to £9,000 for your child, tax-free in the 2023/24 tax year. Save regular payments from £5 a month or add one-off payments from £10.
