- To have the best chance of making this year's ISA deadline, you will need to open your account with us online before 11.00pm on 5 April at the very latest.
- At that point, because you won't have a password to fully activate your account online, you will need to phone us in order to secure your allowance by depositing cash to your account in time (for future investment).
- Ring us on 0845 88 00 267 up until midnight on 5 April and we will arrange for the amount you want to invest to be transferred by debit card to your account.
- Within 48 hours you will receive your password, at which point you can fully activate your account and invest the money as you wish.
