Account name

Fixed Rate Cash ISA - 1 year

What is the interest rate?

The Interest Rate (AER) is payable as follows:

Term	Balance	*AER/tax free
1 year	£5,000 - £2,000,000	3.80%

Interest is calculated daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening. You will have the option of having interest paid into your Fixed Rate Cash ISA, or paid away to a nominated account.

You can check the interest rate applicable to your account on any day by visiting sainsburysbank.co.uk and logging into your online banking.

Can Sainsbury’s Bank change the interest rate?

Rates are fixed until the maturity date. For further information please refer to condition 5.2 of our Fixed Rate Cash ISA Terms and Conditions.

What would the estimated balance be after 1 year based on a £5,000 deposit?

Term	Based on a deposit of	Projected return
1 year	£5,000	£5,190.00

This example is based on one lump sum deposit being made on the account opening date, with no further deposits made. If you choose to have your interest paid away it will be sent to your nominated account and not added to the balance of your Fixed Rate Cash ISA.

This example is provided as an illustration only and does not take into account individual customers’ circumstances.

How do I open and manage my account?

• You must be over 18 and a UK resident to open a Sainsbury’s Bank savings account.
• You can open your Fixed Rate Cash ISA by applying online.
• You can manage your account via Online Banking or by contacting us.
• You must invest a minimum of £5,000 within 30 days of account opening to ensure that your account remains open and that you benefit from the advertised rate of interest.
• The maximum amount that can be held in the account is £2,000,000.
• No further deposits can be made after the first 30 days of account opening.
• You can only subscribe up to the ISA allowance in any one tax year. We accept transfers from other ISA providers.

Can I withdraw money?

This product is designed to hold your money for the full term and only release the funds on the maturity date. If you need access to your money before the maturity date you can withdraw the whole balance and close the account. However, you will incur an early closure charge as detailed below. It will not be possible to withdraw only part of the balance.

Details of early closure charge:

Term	Early Closure Charge
1 year	90 days interest

If you haven't earned enough interest to cover the early closure charge, it will be taken from the balance in your account. That means your closing balance could be less than the amount you paid into the account.

If you keep the account open, we'll write to you 14 days before the fixed-rate period ends and ask you what you'd like us to do with your money. 

You can open a new Sainsbury's Bank Savings Account and tell us to deposit your funds into it, or we can transfer your money to an account held with another provider. 

If you don't tell us what to do with your funds, then once the fixed rate period ends, we'll transfer them to our Reserve Cash ISA and inform you of the interest rate on that account.
