Help
Below are some of the most common queries about our savings accounts.
What is an easy access savings account?
An easy access account is a savings account that allows you to withdraw money without notice. Designed for saving, these will typically offer a higher rate of interest than a current account.
Easy access savings accounts offer a great deal of flexibility. With Shawbrook, you can make unlimited withdrawals (subjected to a minimum amount) without giving us any notice. You can also manage your account online, and deposit as much as you like (up to the account’s maximum balance). The choice is yours to decide whether to receive interest annually or monthly.
Shawbrook also offers easy access cash ISAs. You can deposit up to £20,000 in the current tax year (2024/25) tax-free with these. For more information, visit our cash ISAs page.
Why choose an easy access savings account?
Whether an easy access savings account is the best option will depend on your circumstances and savings goals. But some of the benefits include:
- Earn interest on your savings while having access to your money when you need it.
- Deposit or withdraw money whenever you need to with no notice.
- Rates of interest for easy accounts are typically lower than for fixed rate accounts or notice accounts but you’ll have flexibility in accessing funds.
When can I withdraw money from my easy access savings account?
You can withdraw money from your account at any point, without giving us any notice. The quickest way to do this is in your online account.
We're in the process of upgrading the online experience for all of our customers. We'll contact you before this happens.
If your online account has not been upgraded yet:

The minimum withdrawal amount is £500.

Can the interest rate change on an easy access savings account?
