Tell us, we’re listening
Change happens to all of us, and that’s okay. Whatever your situation, just tell us, and we’ll do our best to support you, every step of the way.
Let us support you
If you’re going through something that affects the way you need us to communicate with you, how you invest and manage your account or your financial situation, let us know. It could be due to a long term or permanent circumstance, like a physical disability. Or short term, like losing your job. Whatever it is, please let us know.
For a Stocks and Shares ISA, Investment Account or Pension, you can stop or reduce payments anytime, but this could affect how much money you’ll get back. You can also withdraw money from your Stocks and Shares ISA or Investment Account whenever you like, but this could affect future returns. You can take your Pension early if you have serious ill-health. You should also consider the tax implications if you withdraw money. You’ll lose the tax-efficient status of money withdrawn from your ISA unless you transfer it directly into another ISA. Withdrawals from your Investment Account may be subject to Capital Gains Tax. Any Pension withdrawals are taxed as income, except in cases of serious-ill health.
