Fixed Rate Cash ISA

It is a fixed rate as shown in the table below:

Interest is calculated daily and credited monthly, quarterly, annually, or at maturity of the deposit depending on your selection. This selection cannot be amended once the selection is confirmed.

You can choose to have your interest paid monthly (for 2, 3, 4 and 5 year terms), quarterly (for 3, 4 and 5 year terms), annually (for 2, 3, 4 and 5 year terms), or on maturity of the deposit (for all terms).

Interest will be paid out to the nominated account stated at the time of account opening. This account must be in your name. Interest is not added to your principal amount unless you have selected interest payment at maturity.

Please note that UBL UK does not compound interest. Please refer to the Interest Rate Sheet for the Gross Rates on different interest payment options.

No, this account has a fixed rate of interest. This means that the rate will not change during the duration of the term.

Below is an example of what the future balance might be after interest has been paid.

Assumptions taken for the above calculations:

• Calculations based on a minimum deposit of £2,000
• No change in the amount (no deposits, no withdrawals)
• No change to the interest rate during the fixed term
• Interest payment on maturity assumed

You must;

• Be aged 18 or over and resident in the UK for tax purposes.

• If you apply by post, you may send a cheque with your application in order to fund the account. Please ensure that the cheque is payable to you, and is from an account which you own and operate.
• If you apply in branch or by post and you wish to wait for your account to be opened before you fund it - you will receive a welcome letter with your account details. The fastest way to fund your account is using internet or mobile banking, and you can register using your account details and the answers to your security questions either on mobile (search 'UBL UK Mobile Banking') or at digitalbanking.ubluk.com.
• You may send us a cheque but this may take longer to arrive in your account, send it to FREEPOST: RUEE-STYR-XYKE, UBL UK, 2 Brook Street, London W1S 1BQ, or make an Electronic Transfer to:

What is a Funding account?

A Funding account is a non-interest bearing transit account that we use to help you set up your Fixed Rate Cash ISA. You should only transfer up to the committed amount into the Funding account. Any additional funds will remain in the Funding account, but you will not be able to move them through internet or mobile banking and will need to contact us by phone. If you make multiple deposits to fund your account, we will transfer the funds from the funding account into your Fixed Rate Cash ISA once you have reached the minimum funding amount of £2,000.

What is an ISA transfer?

An ISA transfer is the process of moving your savings from one ISA provider to another provider such as a different Bank or Building Society. 

Before transferring your ISA, you must speak with your current ISA Provider to ensure that you are following the correct process so that your ISA remains within the tax wrapper.

Can I transfer my existing ISA to UBL UK?

Yes, you can transfer your existing Cash ISA to UBL UK, but you will need to complete an ISA application along with an ISA transfer-in form. This can be done through post or online. You should check with your ISA Provider ahead of initiating a transfer in case of any early withdrawal or closure charges.

Does transferring your ISA count towards the current year’s ISA allowance?

No, transferring an existing ISA from previous years’ subscriptions does not affect your current ISA allowance.

How do I transfer my ISA to UBL UK?

If you wish to transfer your existing Cash ISA to UBL UK, you will need to submit a new ISA application along with the transfer-in form. You can do this online, by post or by visiting our London branch. If you are an existing UBL UK ISA customer and are registered for online banking, you can log in to your account and apply for a new product.

If you would like to transfer your ISA upon maturity, you must ensure that your application is submitted no more than 10 calendar days before the specified maturity date in order to receive the applicable interest rate at the time of your ISA application.

Important note: The ISA transfer process is dealt with in accordance with ISA Regulations. Do not withdraw your ISA yourself or it will lose the tax free status and you will not be able to reinvest that part of your tax-free allowance again.

How long does an ISA transfer take?

In accordance with ISA regulations, once we receive your request it can take up to 15 Working Days to transfer between Cash ISAs. Please note, in some instances the transfer may take longer for instance, postal transfers generally take more time than electronic transfers.

If you decide to wait until the maturity date before transferring your existing Cash ISA to UBL UK, your application must be submitted no earlier than 10 calendar days before the specified maturity date in order to receive the applicable interest rate at the time of your ISA application.

Can I transfer from a Stocks & Shares ISA into a UBL UK Cash ISA?

Can I transfer a Lifetime ISA?

How do I transfer my UBL UK ISA to another provider?

You will need to contact your new provider to make an ISA application and request for an ISA transfer from UBL UK.  Your new provider will handle the process and contact us to carry out the transfer.

If you would like to transfer your ISA before the end of the term, an early withdrawal penalty will apply. Please visit the section below called ’Can I withdraw money?' on our website to find out more on the early withdrawal penalty. The early withdrawal charge will be deducted from interest that has accrued on your account. If interest has already been paid out to your nominated account, then the early withdrawal charge will be deducted from your deposit with us.

If you are thinking of leaving us, feel free to call us our Customer Services Team on +44 (0)121 753 6000 Monday to Friday from 9:15am to 5:15pm (Excluding Bank Holidays) to review your options.

Early withdrawal in full (and no partial withdrawal) is allowed before the full term expires. However, there will be an early withdrawal charge for withdrawing the deposit before the end of the term of the deposit.

Early withdrawal charges are as follows:

The Early Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from interest that has accrued on your Account. If interest has already been paid out to your nominated account, then the Early Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from your deposit with us.

The total of the interest paid and deposit you receive back from us will be no less than your deposit at the Fixed Rate Cash ISA start date.

• This account can only be held in a sole name.
• Transfer-ins and Transfer-outs are allowed.
• There is a 14 day cooling off period for all Fixed Rate Cash ISAs. If you decide to cancel within 14 days of funding the Account, UBL UK will not deduct Early Withdrawal Charges, but you will not be entitled to interest payments for the number of days the deposit has been held with UBL UK. If you cancel within the 14 day cooling off period, you will not lose your Cash ISA subscription allowance for the tax year and you may open a Cash ISA with any other ISA Manager.
• Gross rate means that UBL UK will not deduct tax from the interest we pay on money in your Account. It is your responsibility to pay any tax you may owe to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) or other tax jurisdiction.
• AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will include an AER, it makes it easier for you to compare what return you can expect from your savings over time. UBL UK does not compound interest.
