Saffron Building Society is not a Flexible ISA provider. This means you can't replace the money you have taken out, before the end of the same tax year, without it affecting your annual ISA allowance.

Before the one year term ends we'll contact you to let you know. Your account will change to the Maturity Cash ISA account, which will have a different interest rate. The account number won't change. If you want to switch to a different account, we'll tell you how to do this in the maturity pack that we'll send you.
Our Savings Promises provide you with additional peace of mind, including penalty-free access to your money if your life circumstances significantly change (e.g. serious illness, redundancy, etc). For more information please click here or ask us.
Interest will be paid tax-free, provided your account meets HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) ISA regulations.
If the total amount of interest you earn is more than your tax-free Personal Savings Allowance, you may have to pay tax to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). For more information visit gov.uk.
