Reward ISA
A highly competitive rate with a reward bonus
If you're looking for an ISA with an attractive rate of interest and a reward bonus, you might be interested in our Reward ISA. The Reward ISA pays a bonus of 1.00% payable on the 1st anniversary of your account opening, so you can sit back and watch your savings grow.
Transfer your ISA′s and benefit from this attractive rate
The great thing about our Newcastle Reward ISA is that you can transfer all your other ISA's held elsewhere so all your ISA's can benefit from this highly competitive rate.
Manage your cash ISA online, by phone or in branch
You can choose to open your Newcastle Reward ISA as an online ISA, a telephone banking account or in branch. This gives you the flexibility to manage your cash ISA from home or work, so it's perfect if you have a hectic life.
Tax free savings
An ISA is essential if you want to take advantage of your tax free savings allowance. Each year, you can invest up to £3,600# in cash ISAs and because you don't have to pay any tax, you can usually get the best savings interest rates from these accounts. But remember, once you've reached your tax free savings limit, you cannot put any more money into your account - even if you've withdrawn funds during the year.
Is this account right for you?
If you're still wondering which savings account is right for you, our friendly advisors will be happy to help. Simply pop into your local branch or call 0845 600 4368.
This cash ISA does not satisfy the minimum standards for a deposit-based stakeholder account.

ISA information
Making use of your ISA allowance
An ISA gives you the option to use your tax free savings allowance. The overall annual subscription limit is currently £7,200#.
There are two types of ISA:
Stocks and Shares ISA
A Stocks and Shares ISA enables you to invest up to £7,200# each tax year
Cash ISA
A Cash ISA enables you to invest up to £3,600# each tax year.
The Newcastle Building Society is an approved ISA Manager, managing Cash ISAs. We can refer you to Newcastle Financial Services Ltd (NFSL) who can advise on a range of Stocks and Shares ISAs.
You do not have to hold both ISA elements. You can invest in both a Cash ISA and a Stocks and Shares ISA providing you do not exceed the maximum allowance of £7,200# for each tax year. You can not subscribe to more than one Cash ISA or more than one Stocks and Shares ISA in the same tax year.
You can transfer your current year subscriptions from a Cash ISA to a Stocks and Shares ISA. The subscriptions into the Cash ISA are then treated as if they were made to the Stocks and Shares ISA, allowing you to subscribe to a Cash ISA following the transfer.
This Cash ISA does not satisfy the minimum standards for a deposit-based stakeholder account.
