Savings Help and Support

If you manage your account online, you can log in and select the account you wish to close. Then, simply follow the instructions and we’ll guide you through the process.

For security, we may need to phone you to confirm your account closure.

If you don’t have access to your account online, please visit your local branch or agency.

For online accounts

Around two weeks before your account matures, we’ll send you an email with information about your investment options. We’ll also send information about how to reinvest or withdraw funds.

The funds will not be available to access online until the maturity date. Reinvestment options also won’t become active on the account until this date.

It’s not possible to give us instructions or notice to transfer funds prior to maturity.

For branch accounts
Around two weeks before your account matures, you’ll receive a maturity pack in the post. This will contain information about investment options, and about how to reinvest or withdraw funds.

Select the instructions you would like to give, and take your completed form with your maturity pack to your local branch. The branch will keep this until the maturity date of your current product.

If you’d like to reinvest into a product that isn’t detailed in your maturity pack, this product must still be on sale when your account matures. If it is no longer on sale, you won’t be able to transfer your funds into that product.

This depends on the terms and conditions of your account. Please visit your local branch or agency. Or call us on 0345 1200 100 for more details.
