FAQs

What is a limited access account?

Our limited access accounts are great if you don’t want to lock your money away completely. They usually allow you to dip into your savings a limited number of times over a 12-month period – depending on the specifics of the account.

How many withdrawals can I make?

You can take out your money charge-free, whenever you want, within your access limit. This can differ from account to account.

If you'd like to take out more money than your charge-free access limit allows, you'll be charged based on the amount you're withdrawing.

Are limited access accounts safe?

Like our other savings accounts, our limited access savings accounts are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS will protect up to £120,000 of any eligible deposits you have with us.

If the amount you have saved goes over this limit, the extra amount is unlikely to be protected.
