Instant access
What's an instant access savings account?
With an instant access savings account you can take some or all of your money out right away, without having to give notice. This gives you access to your cash should you need it in a hurry. If instant access isn't important, a better option may be one of our notice accounts, which are savings accounts where you do need to give notice.
