Closed issues

Although these accounts are no longer available to new savers, existing account holders may continue to deposit funds into the account subject to the account restrictions. (The maximum balance and any other depositing restrictions remain in place, for example £3,600 may only be deposited in a Cash ISA per tax year).

If the balance falls below the minimum investment, a lower interest rate will apply.
