Additional Permitted Subscription ISA

Summary Box	The summary box contains the specific terms and conditions for this account and should be read in conjunction with our ISA Key Facts. Where applicable, this supersedes our General Investment Terms and Conditions.
Account name	Additional Permitted Subscription ISA
What is the interest rate?	1.60% Tax Free*/AER Interest is added to the account annually on 5 April.
Can the Society change the interest rate?	The interest rate on this account is variable and the Society may make changes to this rate at any time. We will notify you of any changes in accordance with our General Investment Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?	If you were to open this account with £1,000 and no further deposits or withdrawals were made, after 12 months you would earn £16 in interest. This would result in a total balance of £1,016. Please note this is an illustration only and does not reflect your specific circumstances.
How do I open and manage my account?	To be eligible for this account, you need to: • Be a permanent UK resident, aged 18 or over. • Be a surviving spouse or civil partner of a person who held an ISA and passed away in the last three years, or if they passed away earlier, it’s less than 180 days since the administration of their estate was completed. • You must have been living with your spouse or civil partner at the time of their death. You remain eligible for this allowance if you were separated through care at the time of their death. • Have a National Insurance Number. You can open an account: • By completing the Additional Permitted Subscription ISA application form. • Provide proof of identity. Acceptable forms of identification are detailed in our Verifying your Identity leaflet. Alternatively, our staff will give you full details. • Provide a copy of your Marriage or Civil Partnership Certificate. • Provide a copy of your spouse or civil partner’s death certificate. If you change your mind: If you cancel your Additional Permitted Subscription ISA within the 30-days, the amount subscribed does not count towards the APS allowance. You can then apply for a transfer of the allowance to a new provider of your choice. How do I manage my account: • You need to keep a minimum of £10 in the account. • The maximum that can be held in this account is £500,000. • You may deposit up to the total calculated additional permitted subscription allowance by cash, cheque or bank transfer. • You have until 3 years after the date of death or 180 days after completion of the administration of the estate, whichever date is later, to deposit the available additional permitted subscriptions. Can I transfer my APS Allowance from another ISA Manager? Yes. You will need to complete an APS Transfer Authority Form. You cannot transfer an allowance where you have already made an APS subscription in respect of that allowance with another provider. Once we’ve received your subscription, you’ll be able to transfer it to any eligible ISA in our current range, that accepts transfers in. This transfer will also be treated as previous years’ ISA subscriptions.
Can I withdraw money?	• Yes. You can get instant access to your money whenever you need it. • Withdrawn funds lose their tax-free status unless you are transferring them to another ISA product or provider.
