Sainsbury’s Bank is Britain’s longest standing Supermarket Bank offering loans, savings, insurance, travel money and credit cards.
Cash ISA
Sainsbury’s Cash ISA is a savings account where all of the interest earned is tax free and doesn’t form part of your Personal Savings Allowance. The ISA allowance for the 2020/2021 tax year is £20,000.
The ISA is flexible which means you can withdraw money from the current tax year or previous tax years if you need to and you can replace the money you’ve withdrawn without the replacement counting towards your annual ISA subscription limit. You can start with just £1 and you will receive a variable interest rate of 0.35% AER tax-free. You must be aged 18 or over and be a UK resident to open a Sainsbury’s Bank savings account.
