Why choose our Fixed Rate ISA?

Our Fixed Rate ISA is a type of savings account that could give you:

  • Tax-free interest. The money you can earn on your savings won't be taxed.
  • A set interest rate. You can fix ISA interest rates for one or two years. Just deposit a minimum of £1,000.
  • Peace of mind. You’ll know exactly how much your savings will earn before you apply. Your fixed ISA rate won't change during your term. 

What are NatWest's best one-year and two-year Fixed Rate ISA rates?

  • Earn 4.45% AER/Tax-free p.a. (fixed) when you fix your savings for one year.
  • Earn 4.10% AER/Tax-free p.a. (fixed) when you fix your savings for two years.

You must be a UK resident aged 18+. You can only subscribe to one Cash ISA with NatWest in any tax year up to £20,000. Tax free Interest means interest payable is exempt from UK income tax. Tax reliefs referred to are those applied under current UK legislation, which may change.

What is a Fixed Rate ISA?

A Fixed Rate ISA is a savings account where you agree to lock your money away for a certain period. These accounts offer guaranteed interest rates in return.

Unlike instant-access ISAs, you won’t be able to touch your money until the fixed term ends. But, the interest rate will often be higher.

Fixed Rate ISAs also offer tax benefits compared to traditional savings accounts. Any interest you earn is tax-free, as long as you stick to the £20,000 annual allowance.

Summary Box

Account name: Fixed Rate ISA

What is the interest rate?

Interest is paid on a tiered basis at these fixed rates from the date you open your account until the Maturity Date. This means you'll earn one rate on your entire balance. Interest is calculated daily and paid annually to your ISA on the first business day in April and on the Maturity Payment Date.

Can NatWest change the interest rate?

No, the interest rate is fixed. This means that the rate will not change between the date you open your account and the Maturity Date.

What would the estimated balance be at maturity based on a range of deposits?

These are only examples and do not take into account your individual circumstances, or any interest earned prior to the Start Date.

How do I open and manage my account?

What do you need?

There are a few requirements when opening a NatWest Fixed Rate ISA. First, you’ll need to:

  • Be 18 years old or over.
  • Be a UK resident.
  • Agree to hold the fixed ISA solely in your name.

Keep in mind: You must not have subscribed to another Cash ISA with us or have subscribed to more than the overall subscription limit in total to a Cash ISA, a Stocks & Shares ISA, an Innovative Finance ISA and or a Lifetime ISA in the same tax year. 

To open your account we’ll need your email address and mobile number. You can get started:

  • On our mobile app
  • Online
  • By telephone (for existing customers only)
  • In branch. Bring along your own digital device, such as a mobile or tablet. Our staff will then help you to open the account yourself.

How can you pay money in and manage your ISA?

Up and running? You can manage your Fixed Rate ISA using our app, online, or by phone.

Payments can be made in branch and by telephone. We’ll send you a certificate of deposit within 14 days of the account start date.

Just remember that:

  • Your deposit needs to reach your account by 23 August 2024 for tax year 2024/2025.
  • You must deposit at least £1,000 (the ‘minimum deposit’) by this date.
  • There’s no maximum deposit or balance with a NatWest Fixed Term ISA.
  • You’ll need to stay within the annual ISA allowance, which is £20,000 for the current tax year. This limit is set by the UK Government and can change.
  • If you pay in more than the annual allowance, any excess money will be returned to you.

Key dates

Can I withdraw money?

You can withdraw money from your account (in branch or by telephone) until 23 August 2024 at 3:30pm. Partial withdrawals aren’t permitted after that. Instead, you’ll need to wait until the account matures.

Want to make a withdrawal after the cut-off, but before the maturity date? You’ll need to close your account by giving written notice to your branch. An Early Closure Charge will then apply, except in the event you pass away.

The Early Closure Charge will:

  • Be the lower of the interest earned on your account, or 90 days’ interest
  • Be deducted from the balance of your Fixed Rate ISA.

The total amount you receive (including interest earned on your balance) will be no less than your deposit at the start date. For example, if you’ve earned 50 days’ interest, you will only pay an Early Closure Charge equivalent to 50 days’ interest. And if you’ve earned 100 days’ interest, you will only face a charge equivalent to 90 days’ interest.
