  Main features of the account

On death, your beneficiary(ies) can opt to continue to enjoy the higher rate of interest applicable to a Direct 65+ variable rate cash ISA regardless of age. However, the interest will be taxable and they will not be able to add further funds to the account.
The current maximum you can subscribe to a Cash ISA in a tax year is £5,100. This limit may be altered by the Government in the future. Transfers of previous tax year ISA subscriptions from another provider DO NOT count towards this tax year’s ISA subscription limit. Transfers of current tax year ISA subscriptions DO count towards this tax year’s ISA subscription limit.
Existing ISA funds can be transferred from other ISA providers.

AER - stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

Tax free rate - is the stated contractual rate as the interest is exempt from income tax.
