ISA ACCOUNT

Make your money work harder with a Saxo stocks and shares ISA

Make the most of your 2024/25 tax-free allowance.

Unlike cash, the value of investment can fall as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invest. Tax rules can change and the value of any benefits depend on your personal circumstances.

ISAs are a tax-efficient way to help you build wealth

Are you a UK resident over 18? Then you’ll have a tax-free ISA allowance of £20,000 for the 2024/25 tax year. If you invest this in a stocks and shares ISA, your profits will be free from capital gains tax and you’ll pay no tax on income from any dividends either.

With Saxo, you can invest your £20,000 in more than 11,000 global stocks, ETFs and bonds.


Saxo now offers up to 3.43%* interest on your cash deposits

* Interest earned only above GBP 10,000 (or equivalent) at a variable rate and the best rate is earned on balances above GBP 100k
