It’s possible to have multiple Cash ISAs but there are a few rules:
- You can only subscribe to one Cash ISA in a single tax year with Leeds Building Society. In the same year, other providers might allow you to invest in a Cash ISA or additional ISAs, if you’re aged 18 or over, subject to ISA limits.
- You can only benefit from tax-free savings up to £20,000 per tax year.

Don’t worry if the payment doesn’t show in your balance straight away. It'll show in your account balance the next working day.
To check your interest rate, log in to your account. On the Account Management screen, select the account you want to know the interest rate for. The key information for that account will show. You can also find your interest rate in your passbook and Terms and Conditions for the account.
For a variable rate account that’s no longer available to open, you can see interest rates on closed issue accounts on our website.
We pay compound interest on savings accounts. This means paying interest on interest! The first time interest is calculated on your savings, it’s only earned on the original savings balance. If you leave that interest in the account, the second time it’s calculated is on your original savings and the first lot of interest. So the longer you leave your interest in the savings account, the more you’ll earn.
The date your interest will be paid depends on the terms and conditions (T&Cs) of the account you’ve opened. If you can’t find the T&Cs, give us a call.
