Cash deposit account

Summary

The Cash deposit account pays 1.85% interest per annum (variable).

Your Cash deposit account is a separate cash pot within your Cushon GIA. You can organise your savings and investments across as many pots as you like within your Cushon GIA because they all sit in one account behind the scenes.

Your account is fully managed by Cushon and we will arrange for your money to be deposited into a Metro Bank client account.

You will not directly hold an account with Metro Bank and your funds are held in a pooled account held by Cushon.

You do not pay the normal Cushon platform charge on cash deposits held within your Cushon account.

By proceeding, you confirm that you have read and understood the Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs)

If you reach your annual ISA allowance before the end of this tax year, contributions will automatically overflow into your General Investment Account.
