There is a limit to the amount you can invest in an ISA in any tax year; this is referred to as the annual ISA allowance*. The annual ISA allowance is now £20,000 and the whole amount can be invested in a cash ISA.
*This is our current understanding of the annual ISA allowance.
You can only fund your account via a direct account transfer or a cheque from an account in your name. Al Rayan Bank doesn't accept third party transfers. You can make a deposit in any of the following ways:
- Transfer funds from another account in your name
- Send your cheque to Al Rayan Bank PLC, PO Box 12461, Birmingham, B16 6AQ with your account number written on the back
Please note that you can only pay into one new cash ISA in each tax year. A tax year runs from April 6th of one year to April 5th of the next. You cannot carry over any unused ISA allowance.
If you have a cash ISA or a stocks and shares ISA with other providers, you can transfer either partial or full balances** into an Instant Access or Fixed Term Cash ISA with Al Rayan Bank. You will need to complete and sign a transfer form, and send this to us at the above address. You can obtain a transfer form in any of the following ways:
- By downloading a copy from our website at alrayanbank.co.uk
- By calling us
** Under HM Revenue & Customs ISA regulations, only whole transfers of current tax year subscriptions (including profit) can be accepted.
Linked account
If you try to deposit more than the annual ISA allowance into your new Instant Access Cash ISA in any tax year, we will place the excess into a linked account nominated by yourself.
If you asked us to open an On Demand Savings account to act as your linked account, you will receive a welcome pack in relation to this account under separate cover.
