Cash ISA
Punjab National Bank offers two Cash ISAs; one with a variable rate of interest, the other with a fixed rate. The Variable Rate Cash ISA gives a tax-free interest rate of 0.50% AER. The Fixed Rate Cash ISA gives tiered tax-free interest rates from a one year plan (0.70% AER) up to five years (1.20% AER); the longer your account lasts the better return you will get.
The minimum amount to open either of these ISAs is £1, up to a maximum allocation of £20,000. You can withdraw money from a Variable Rate Cash ISA account at any time. The pre-mature withdrawal from a Fixed Rate Cash ISA Account is also allowed for the full amount after giving notice of a minimum 30 days, however partial withdrawals are not allowed.
To be eligible you must be a UK resident aged 16 or over, and not have subscribed to another Cash ISA in the same tax year.
Other Services
As well as ISAs, PNB also offer general banking services, savings accounts and loans.
