A limited access saver is a savings account that pays a variable interest rate while restricting how many times you can take money out. With MBS, the Limited Access Saver gives you up to 3 penalty-free withdrawals each year (1 April – 31 March).
You can make 3 free withdrawals per account year. If you make a 4th, you’ll lose 25 days’ interest on the amount you withdraw. Closing the account after using your free withdrawals also triggers this penalty.
Yes. The Limited Access Saver is designed to let you dip into your money if you really need to. Just remember - after your 3rd withdrawal, further withdrawals or closure will cost you 25 days’ interest on the amount taken out.
You must be at least 18 and a UK resident (excluding Northern Ireland) to open a limited access saver with MonBS.

You can open and run the Limited Access Saver online, on our app, in branch, or at a MonBS agency. Phone and postal applications aren’t available.
The limited access saver suits people who want a competitive rate than an instant access account but don’t mind limiting withdrawals. It may not suit you if you need unlimited access or want a fixed interest rate.
Yes. Money in the Limited Access Saver are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £120,000 per person. This gives our building society savers peace of mind that their money is protected.
Interest on the limited access saver is paid gross. Whether you pay tax depends on your Personal Savings Allowance. If you're a basic rate taxpayer, you won't have to pay tax on the first £1,000 of savings income you earn. For higher rate taxpayers, the first £500 of savings income is tax-free. Additional rate taxpayers have to pay tax on all their savings income.
