What is a Stocks and Shares ISA?
A Stocks and Shares ISA, also known as a Self-Select ISA or Investment ISA, is a savings account that lets you invest your money and avoid paying UK income or capital gains tax.
You can choose to invest in funds, shares, bonds, and other types of investments. You can withdraw your money whenever you need to, and you can contribute up to £20,000 a year - this is the maximum ISA annual allowance.
Add an ISA to the investment accounts you already hold with us to keep track of everything in one place.
