With an ISA tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change. As with all stock market investments the value of your ISA can fall as well as rise.
A Lifetime ISA must be held for at least 12 months before using it towards the purchase of a first home in the UK up to £450,000. By saving into a Lifetime ISA instead of a workplace pension, you could lose the benefit of employer contributions and the value could affect any entitlement to means tested benefits.
The government bonus will apply to any contributions (up to £4,000) until your 50th birthday, which you can access at age 60. If you make a withdrawal from the Lifetime ISA before age 60, other than to purchase your first home, you will pay a government penalty of 25% on the withdrawal amount, and you may get back less than you paid in.

There is no interest rate as our Lifetime ISA invests in stocks and shares and is not a Cash ISA. Stocks and Shares ISAs have the aim of providing better growth than cash in the long-term.
Investing in stocks and shares provides better potential for growth than cash in the long-term. In every 10-year time period, over the last 113 years, the probability of stocks and shares outperforming cash was 91% (Barclays Equity Gilt Study 2022).
If you are eligible for our other ISA element (Stocks and Shares or Lifetime), you will be able to open this online or with your Financial Adviser.

If you are planning to use your money towards purchasing a first home, you do not withdraw the funds directly yourself, because the government penalty will be applied. If you are buying a house, contact Customer Services, who will guide you through the process.
Lifetime ISAs are subject to a government penalty (25% of the withdrawn amount) if not used of the purchase of your first home or withdrawals made before you are 60. To withdraw money from your Lifetime ISA, please contact Customer Services or your Financial Adviser. The unit price displayed is for the previous working day, which changes daily, this means you may receive a little more or less than what you have chosen to withdraw. The price you receive will be based on the date the withdrawal is requested, and it may take up to 5 working days to process your request.
