What is an limited access savings account?

It’s a savings account that pays you more interest than an easy access account, because you can only take money out a limited number of times. It’s usually between 1 and 6 times a year, depending on the account you choose. This helps your savings grow more quickly.

Is a limited access savings account right for me?

It might be right for you if:

  • You only want to take money out a few times a year.

  • You want a better interest rate than an easy access account.

It's not right for you if:

  • You want to take money out whenever you want.

You're comfortable that your interest rate could change.
