Investing basics

What is Available Cash?

Your Available Cash shows how much money is held in your investment account as cash – it isn’t invested and instead earns interest.

For our Stocks & Shares ISA, Junior ISA, and General Investment Account, cash earns an interest rate of 2.5% AER (variable). For our Stocks & Shares Lifetime ISA, this rate is 2.25% AER (variable).

You can use your Available Cash to invest in our range of funds (and/or stocks, if you hold a Stocks & Shares ISA), either individually or in line with your current allocation. You can also move money to another Moneybox product, or withdraw to your linked bank account.

For funds held as Available Cash, we do not charge a customer service fee – instead, we will retain the difference (if any) between the interest received from the underlying diversified third party banks and the amounts paid on your product.

It's important you know

Capital at risk. All investing should be for the longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

A 25% government penalty applies if you withdraw money from a Lifetime ISA for any reason other than buying your first home (up to £450,000) or for retirement, and you may get back less than you paid into your Lifetime ISA.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Payments you make into your pension won’t be accessible until the minimum pension age (currently 55, increasing to age 57 from 2028). Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

For Business Saver: T&Cs apply. Max one withdrawal per day.
