To open an account you must be permanently resident in the UK. Simply call into your local branch and complete an application form.
You will need to provide some identification when you open your account, details of our requirements can be obtained from the “before you apply section” on this page, your local branch or by calling us. If you are already a Hanley Member, in most cases, this will not be necessary.
When you open your account you will receive a passbook.
You can open the account with a minimum investment of £20 - maximum investment 1/12 of the annual current ISA allowance. For the current ISA allowance please contact us on 01782 255000 or visit HMRC.
A subscription of between £20 and 1/12 of the current annual ISA allowance should be received each calendar month and you can vary the amount you wish to save. You can make more than one subscription per month providing the maximum subscription is not exceeded. You can make subscriptions by one, or a combination of, the following ways:
- Branch visit
- Post
- Internal transfer from an existing Hanley account
- Bank transfer
- Standing order
If no subscriptions are made for 3 consecutive months or if 3 or more monthly subscriptions are missed throughout the tax year (6 April – 5 April) the Society, after giving you 60 days notice of our intention to do so, reserves the right to close the account and transfer it to an Instant Access Cash ISA Account. By 15 March, if you have not fully subscribed to your Regular Saver Cash ISA, an additional subscription may be made up to the current ISA limit. We do not accept transfers into the Regular Saver Cash ISA from a Cash ISA operated by another ISA Manager.
The maximum investment limit, £100,000.
Once the account has been opened, it can be managed either in branch and/or via the post.
