Can Sainsbury’s B@nk change the interest rate?
Rates are fixed until the maturity date. For further information please refer to condition 5.2 of our Fixed Rate Cash ISA Terms and Conditions.
What would the estimated balance be at the end of the term based on a £5,000 deposit?
Annual interest paid into the account:
| Term | Based on a deposit of | Projected return |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years | £5,000 | £5,042.50 |
| 2 years | £5,000 | £5,090.41 |
| 3 years | £5,000 | £5,143.86 |
| 4 years | £5,000 |
£5,200.96 |
| 5 years | £5,000 |
£5,262.86 |
This example assumes that interest is paid into the Fixed Rate Cash ISA, which means the interest is compounded each year.
Annual interest paid into a nominated account:
| Term | Based on a deposit of | Projected return |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years | £5,000 | £5,042.50 |
| 2 years | £5,000 | £5,090.00 |
| 3 years | £5,000 | £5,142.50 |
| 4 years | £5,000 |
£5,198.00 |
| 5 years | £5,000 |
£5,257.50 |
This example assumes interest is paid away to a nominated account, which means the interest is not compounded. Please note, because interest is paid away, the projected return above illustrates the total return over the term of the product and does not represent the final balance in the account.
These examples are based on one lump sum deposit being made on the opening date, with no further deposits or withdrawals made. These examples are provided as an illustration only and do not take into account individual customers’ circumstances.
How do I open and manage my account?
- You must be over 18 and a UK resident to open a Sainsbury’s B@nk savings account.
- You can open your Fixed Rate Cash ISA by applying online.
- You can manage your account via Online B@nking or by contacting us.
- You must invest a minimum of £5,000 within 30 days of account opening to ensure that your account remains open and that you benefit from the advertised rate of interest.
- The maximum amount that can be held in the account is £2,000,000.
- No further deposits can be made after the first 30 days of account opening.
- You can only subscribe up to the ISA allowance in any one tax year. We accept transfers from other ISA providers.
Can I withdraw money?
This product is designed to hold your money for the full term and only release the funds on the maturity date. If you need access to your money before the maturity date you can withdraw the whole balance and close the account. However, you will incur an early closure charge as detailed below. It will not be possible to withdraw only part of the balance.
Details of early closure charge:
| Fixed Rate ISA term | Early Closure Charge |
|---|---|
| 1 years | 90 days interest |
| 2 years | 150 days interest |
| 3 years | 210 days interest |
| 4 years | 240 days interest |
| 5 years | 270 days interest |
If you have not earned enough interest to cover the early closure charge it will be taken from the balance in your account. This means the closing balance could be less than the amount you paid into the account.
If you keep the account open, we'll write to you 14 days before the fixed rate period is due to end and ask you what you'd like us to do with your money. You will be able to open another Sainsbury's B@nk savings account and have your funds deposited into this new account, or we will be able to transfer your money to an account held with another provider. If you do not provide us with an instruction, your funds will be transferred to our Reserve Cash ISA, and we will inform you of the interest rate on that account.
Additional information
Interest on your Fixed Rate Cash ISA is tax free. This means your Fixed Rate Cash ISA interest will not count towards your Personal Savings Allowance. Please contact HMRC if you need more information.

ISA savings in one place by transferring in any of your existing ISAs
With a Sainsbury's Fixed Rate Cash ISA you can keep your ISA savings in one place by transferring in any of your existing ISAs - ask about our ISA transfer service or complete our transfer in form (PDF 127KB).
This way you can enjoy an attractive rate on all your balances and the convenience of having your ISA savings in one place by transferring in any of your existing ISAs. And remember, when you transfer an ISA from another provider, this won't affect your annual ISA allowance. (We can’t accept APS transfers, but if you want to transfer in from a Cash ISA, a Stocks and Shares ISA, or an Innovative Finance ISA to our Cash ISA please complete the Transfer In form, please do not transfer the funds yourself).
Take advantage of the 2020/21 £20,000 tax-free limit
Once your Sainsbury's Fixed Rate Cash ISA is open you can deposit the full £20,000 annual allowance. Please remember that you only have 30 days to fund your account. If your account is not funded after 30 days, your account will convert to a Reserve Cash ISA. You can only subscribe to one Cash ISA account during any one tax year. An ISA can only be held by an individual, not in joint names.
Charges for early closure if you need your money
You can withdraw money from your Fixed Rate Cash ISA without notice before the maturity date but you will incur an early closure charge. If you have not earned enough interest to cover the early closure charge then it will be taken from the balance in your account. This means the closing balance could be less than the amount you paid into the account. You can only withdraw the full balance of your account, partial withdrawals are not permitted. Also, remember that if you’ve paid in your full ISA allowance any amount you withdraw can’t be replaced in the same tax year.
How is your interest paid?
Interest is calculated daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening (or the next business day if this date falls on a weekend). You will have the option of having interest paid into your Fixed Rate Cash ISA, or paid away to a nominated account.
What happens at maturity?
We’ll write to you 14 days before your Fixed Rate Cash ISA is due to mature and ask you what you'd like us to do with your money. You'll be able to open another Sainsbury's B@nk savings account and have your funds paid into this new account, or we can transfer your money to an account held with another provider. Please remember, if you withdraw your money and do not transfer it to another ISA account, your money will lose its tax free status.
If we do not hear from you by the maturity date we will automatically transfer your balance into our Reserve Cash ISA, and we will let you know the interest rate on this account.
Easy to manage
You can check your balance and transactions using the Online B@nking service or by contacting us.
Protection against money laundering
Before your account is fully active we'll need to verify your identity. This is to comply with money laundering regulations. In most cases we can do this electronically but we may need you to provide some documents to help us.

Important Information about your Fixed Rate Cash ISA
1. Your Fixed Rate Cash ISA will be opened on your account opening date.
2. Interest is fixed on the account opening date. Interest starts to accrue once cleared funds are paid into your Fixed Rate Cash ISA until the end of the term. If you make your deposit into the account after the account opening date, you will receive interest from the date of deposit until the end of the term and not from account opening date. The term over which you actually receive interest may therefore be shorter than the full term of the product.
3. You must fund your account within 30 days of account opening. If you do not fund your Fixed Rate Cash ISA we will close your Fixed Rate Cash ISA after 30 days.
4. If you need access to your money before the maturity date you can withdraw the whole balance and close the account. However, you will incur an early closure charge, this means that the closing balance could be less than the amount you paid into the account.
